Re: behold the GOTHMASTER

ok, so the guitars in this thread got me thinking:

"...black jazzmaster... brushed aluminum pickguard... black pup covers.. a single brushed aluminum knob... black switch tip..."

et voila!

i was a bit sloppy making the pickguard, so the shape isn´t quite right. i´m pretty sure i´ll grow tired of it in a week or two, but at the moment i love the look.

edit: BTW, do you guys think John 5 would like it?

IMO it looks great... if you get tired of it you could ship the guard my way

. I think it'd need a black headstock or something to really be a complete gothmaster.

I like it a lot too, i think a silver guard would look good on my OTM AVRI

I think it looks real good! The black pickup covers really finish it off. I

Oh it's cool..I've always said that if I will play metal with a jazzmaster I should gone on something like this..

How did you cut the allumnium so precisely?

With his gothic steely blade, of course.

well, obviously

and i used the distilled blood of a thousand demons to etch out the pickup routes and screw holes.

seriously though, i used a regular hand held electric saw to roughly cut out the shape, and then i used a file clean it up.

I hope you're using bat-shaped picks with it.

for extra gloomy-ness!

It does look surprisingly good. And I agree, the black pup covers make it.

Wow, that looks really great, the silver guard matches with the worn spots in the finish in a very nice way....

Cool .. and I never thought this sentence would leave my mouth, but: the tune-o-matic bridge looks really good on it.

I agree with FireAarro about the matching black headstock .. and maybe a black trem arm tip?

It would also look cool, and a little less goth/more industrial with WRHBs in it.
