It's not really a PMC colour scheme, but it looks super cool - keep us posted on progress........

Petie · #3 10-21-2007, 11:36 PM

Yeah, it's more "PAW" with a bit of purple, and if I really wanted a PMC look I'd go for one like the prototype in the old catalog shot, with all that orange. I saw this the other day and had to have it, so it's going to be my Xmas present

G'donyer!

What neck is going to go on that beast?

I'm going to wait for a nice Japanese RG neck to appear on a certain auction site, but I will get it modified by a local tech who does amazing work. I'll probably get smaller frets installed, and as for inlays I want to stay away from anything that looks too "Jem-y," so I'll have a good long think about what to do there. Maybe I should get a Christopher Woods neck with LEDs but I don't know how that all works - if I need to get the body modified to accommodate the neck's electronics or whatever.

I think I'll go for a DNA-style pickguard.

I'm also thinking about having all the hardware powder-coated in the colours of the swirl.

Awesome Pete, can't wait to see this body used with all those other bits that form a guitar!

Awesome colors, exactly the colors I would have picked. I looked in to getting the LEds done, it was the guy who did steve vai's and is located in the UK. He said all I had to do was send him the neck, the body wasn't needed for the job ??

LEDS would look awesome to but pricey..

that looks great Petie! really dynamic!

i think the coloured hardware could look tacky though, just my first reaction...
powder cosmo like the dna would be one of my picks...

Beautiful swirl. I never liked swirls when I first discovered them but hanging around Jemsite has converted me. There are so many custom jobs like this one that just look amazing. ...need to control my GAS!

Very nice. Can't wait to see the finished product.

That's a nice swirl, Petie. I'm not much of a swirl fan but this one is good. Nice, sharp lines, and some interesting patterns. Should make a cool guitar.
