Oh yeah, just incase yuou were wondering, this started out as an RG1570, all black and very boring. So Herc pimped it by: siwrling body and headstock, red vine inlay and clear pick guard.
I thought he was going to do the whole vine red but i'm glad it does have the white bit because it looks better than it would have other wise.
I really love the swirl but I think the red tree of life inlay doesn't go good with the rosewood, the inlay would look cool with a maple board but I don't know how that would match the body. Still, cool guitar.
IF (and i stress if) i was going to criticise it, and this is just me being incredibly picky, it's a shame that the truss rod cover holes weren't filled before it was swirled. and the "ibanez prestige" logo looks a little funny surrounded by black.
overall, one of the most striking swirls i've laid eyes on. kudos on using a recent high end model, too.
So how much is "a bit" of a wait? Is Herc taking on new business again, or is he still just working on clearing his backlog of work before shutting down completely?
Dang thats mighty fine. Kinda reminescent of the Diablo one he did a few years ago but even cooler with the vine vs. the PBK standard inlays (if memory serves) on Diablo.
Absolutely gorgeous. The best colored swirl I've ever yet to see.
I love how the white pickups and knobs which im huge fan of stand right out. I love the red vine and the swirl is perfect.
The colors are great.
I've seen another swirl just like it somewhere here a while ago and it was a PBK. That, my friend is just sweet as sweet can be. Nice.
I am a huge fan of Herc's work. I think he does some amazing color combinations in his swirls, and yours is just another example of this. Congrats on a beautiful axe.
Judging by the response here, it seems that Herc has many fans, so i hope he will decide to start accepting work again when he starts to get caught up.
peace
