I'm looking for some ideas about a new Jackson that I'm getting. It's going to be a Jackson DK2M in white (some pics will be provided for reference) and I'd like to think of some things to do to it!
I'm a death metal player and this guitar will be used for Drop A# tuning because I play heavy music. So I probably won't be doing any neon finishes. But I'm open to more then just boring black! I love to try new things!
I can't think of anything to do to it though. So, any ideas?
I love my DK2M, The main guitar I use in the band Crazy Train.
jB in the Bridge and Pearly Gates in the Neck, so if your playing Death metal, you may want to put a different set of Pups in it.
And while I like the look, I have enough solid color guitars. And I personally don't like the look of white and maple. Black looks much better. But I'm not doing that either.
Maybe a nice vaneer and some black stain would look good. . . . .
I've seen it a thousand times. Same with the white JEM505. I just don't really like the look. I don't hate it either (if I did, I'd never consider the DK2M), I just think maple fretboards look better on dark guitars. It pops out more (obviously).
keep it white, take off all hardware..dip your picking arm in blood red paint and make a picking motion against the body. let dry. put back together.when people see the guitar they will be like,,,WTF then when you start playing it your arm and hand will line up with the bloodz design...:twisted::twisted::twisted:
i ve got that same guitar..plays great 59 in neck..jb in bridge..i love it..i replace the floyd with ofr german made it kills..leave it alone an enjoy it
A pickguard WOULD be cool. . . . . . I also like the blood idea.
Not a camo fan but I like the direction that you're going in.
Can't really think of anything in pinstripe that I'd like.
What WOULD be cool (but I don't have the skills/tools to do it OR the money to get it done) would be an balone body inlay or a big dead tree on the arm contor/top of the body.
I guess ther whole point of this is just having something different. I hate having the same guitar as 100,000 other people, you know?
Yeah I've been meaning to post up some pics in your old thread. Just haven't got around to it yet. Too busy playing it all the time. If it had a maple fretboard I think it might just be perfect!
It, combined with the DiMarzio Dominions have made it my favourite guitar to play! Love the neck profile you shaped. I've got a Killer Guitar Components brass block to install in it this week. Should just take it over the edge! Again I have to thank you so much for it. As rough as my paint job is I just can't stop playing it, on account of it playing and sounding so good!
I had the white DK2M and painted it to this. Did it with Krylon spray paint from Walmart.
