Beat up guitar pictures

sniperfrommars1 · #1 08-20-2002, 05:48 AM

Im not really sure where to put this mods, but here goes. I really love beat up guitars, like srvs number one, evo (its beat up really it is) etc. etc. They just seem to have a character to them that I love. The bsb's tend to look beat to heck when the get played. So what I want is pictures of your beat up guitars. Has anyone ever thought of doing an ibanez relic mod to their guitars? Any info on how custom shops go about doing this? I cant wait till Im sixty and my old rg custom looks like srv's number one, so I REALLY need one now. LOL

I dunno if this qualify for a beat up guitar...but it went through some pretty bad beatings....

it was a rg250 before i "sacrified" it..some friends of mine actaully called it "swamp thing"...lol

everything there is rusty....burnt and ....just wood

Good Lord! What was the vine inlay done with?

Nestor · #4 08-20-2002, 01:09 PM

all the vines are painted with silver paint...it fades a little with more playing, otherwise it stays.....but that kinda fit into what i wanted it to look like in the first place....where everything is "dirty" and "industrial"....lol

I really dig that vibe. My kind of thing definitely. If you had never played one I would have said that was a more expensive guitar. Any more pics of what the back and neck look like up close? I actually collect pics of odd guitars and I REALLY dig this one

thanks snipe....the back is pretty much the same....burnt .....the headstock had it's 'Ibanez' logo handcraved out.....

the guitar is a little more worn now...the pics uploaded b4 was when its still "new"

i'll take some and upload more pics later in the day when i'm off work

Sniper,
i really love beaten guitars (#1 is so cool), and i bought an ultra-cheap Strat replica made by Roytek. it was incredibly identical to the early Strat from the 50s (with maple board and normal-sized headstock), so i thought it was cool to buy it and made a Relic Strat by myself.
as soon as i got some pics i'll post them.

as for Ibanez,
i'm waiting to get some money and have my RG270 stripped it and repainted in orange-fluo or Brazil-green, with large handle, one PAF Pro and a volume knob. i'm seriously thinking to turn it into a beaten-looking Ibanez.

i'm also thinking to turn my N2 in a Relic version, like the one they're selling now, all beaten up and Nuno'sweat-soaked.
cant wait!

hey Sniper, any pics from your beaten-guitars pics collection?

Nuno,

Are you going to start collecting yuor own sweat to rub into the body then? You could go down to the gym wearing a black plastic bag!

hehe...
well, for now i just strum the babe half an hour under the sun: i'm getting suntanned, and she's becoming a A Hot Night With Nuno's replica of the real N4.

(i mean the real Nuno...)

Ill get those pics up sometime tonight nuno. I have more pictures than some might think. Ill post them tonight as Im at work right now. Well I get off at 2:00 in the morning so some Might say in the morning as well. Speaking of beatup I have a picture I got off evilbay of an old n4 that looks totally wrong you might say. Youll just have to see it.

nuno · #11 08-22-2002, 08:51 AM

cant wait it's 2:00am!

sniperfrommars1 · #12 08-22-2002, 08:13 PM

This is a beater jem project wannabe from evilbay. Ugly as hell, but has a nice lasher vibe to it

And this here is a nice little 59 strat. Notice how it looks like sweat has eaten through the finish

This rg is just cool ugly. I dig the finish. THis thing has NO resale value, but it looks totally different

No resale value? I seem to remember some fuss about it here a while ago, but I could be wrong. Try and do them all in one post, eh?
