Description Alright, here's an update on the most sexy guitar EVER. We sprayed some color-shifting paint onto the body after a coat of black primer and black base coat (which are basically the same thing ).

It's supposed to shift from purple to green, with all sorts of colors inbetween (plus it has mica in it, so you get sparkles ). You can't even begin to imagine what it looks like in person, this picture pales in comparison. It would render you speechless if you saw it in the sunlight. This picture was taken after one coat of the special paint, but eventually it'll have 5 or 6 coats

Paul routed the electronics pocket out in the back, and Jim drilled in the hole for the jack and the volume knob hole. All carving of the design was done by me, so no stealing.

it's really cool and all..., I mean it, really cool, but the longer I see it...

the more I ask myself what bridge are you planning on use X_X, of course is not a tremolo, neither a tune-o-matic ._.

Oh my fuckin' gosh, this is SO awesome! We were drooling guitars with Voodoo-Wolf, and she told me that you've started this totally from a scratch, and I wuz like omfg, there can't be guitar like this! I can't even play guitar (except Holy Diver's intro), but I would so like to have a guitar like this

And just watch it. All day long.

Nah, I'm so awkward that I could never finish it I can stay in designing while those who really can do something take care of the realization Well my little bro tried to teach me more but failed big time

I rather growl than scream, but I got some work to do with my technique that I won't lose my voice completely :'DD

Pfft yah! I can't scream unless i'm at a concert (i'm ok with projecting when i'm singing normally, but i'm not very good at being loud), so I have major respect for people that make a career out of screaming/growling .

Lenedict In reply to apachetears [2009-08-26 18:11:41 +0000 UTC]

Well yeah, in concerts it's somehow much easier, but if I really get in to the thing, I've got a pretty good sound My g/f was so proud of me after the latest Amorphis-gig <3 But I have lots of things to learn about the technique.

So do I, Mikko KotamΓ€ki for example (the singer of Swallow the Sun) has an incredible sound, and Vreth from Finntroll has one fabulous sound, too.

Haha that's a great concert to be screaming at! I wish they would tour more over here.

Yeah man! I don't know how they do it. Maynard J.K. from TOOL has always been my vocalist idol, because when he does scream, it just goes on and on. In The Grudge, he screams an actual note for a straight 30 seconds, even performing live! Not even kidding.

Amorphis is Love with a huuuuuuuge L I've seen them for 7 times in bit over 2 years, and in November again They're so incredible, they just get better and better on every album. <3

Whoa man, that's amazing! Opeth's Mikael Γ…kerfeldt is fabulous, too, I saw Opeth last Spring when I was working at my home club (and shot 'em too <3), they played for 2 hours and still everyone felt like the gig was too short! That was so incredible, one of the best gigs I've ever seen. I'm still sad that I missed them in Provinssirock, 'cuz I was waiting for Amorphis' gig in front of another stage, and I was like "pleez don't play diz and dat and dat" that I wouldn't be so pissed that I'm not in the front row in front of the main stage. And of course they played all of 'em, haha. But we met both Tomi's from Amorphis before the gig so that compensated a bit^^

It sounds like you've had some kick-ass concert experiences! So jealous

Haha, that's how it always goes. What were they like? Did you get to talk to them much?

Lenedict In reply to apachetears [2009-08-31 10:29:35 +0000 UTC]

I know, I have! It's so cool that I get free to so many awesome gigs 'cuz I'm working there at club cloakroom and shooting, Rytmikorjaamo has became a huge thing in Finnish gig business in a few years. And the venue is so cool, it's a huge old post car garage, it's painted all red and black with some yellow things here and there, it's so industrial and cozy and awesome, I totally love that place! And we have so much fabulous gigs there, for example last spring, besides Opeth (supported by Entombed), we had Volbeat, Cannibal Corpse, Katatonia and huge amount of fabulous Finnish bands. And this fall is going to be great, too, we're gonna have Ensiferum with MetsΓ€tΓΆll, Amon Amarth with Entombed, and Amorphis with Swallow the Sun! Yay!

Oh, they were so sweet! We got autographs and took some fangirlie-pics and I got hug from mr. Joutsen, he was so kind^^ And mr. Koivusaari wrote autograph to my lil'bro, he plays guitar so it was like a must. I still got to get Esa's autograph to him, Esa is his "Da big Idol" and so Mr. Joutsen was like "well you're not watching Opeth, then" and I wuz like "well I could have been, but we're waiting for you" And I wished from 'em that they'd play From the Heaven of My Heart in Kuopiorock (that's a really special song for me and my darling), I didn't really thought they'd actually play it, but then they did and omg! That wuz like one of the best things ever and so.

Well, i'm not sure.

I was stranded without my guitar today, because I had to work and I had breakfast (which has been unusual, as of late).

And I found the magic of plz accounts, with all sorts of fun icons (hehehe). Maybe it all added up.

Heya!
I just had some friends over and talked about drawing and stuff, and after that we found the chords out and played this on guitar [link]



And i also wanted to ask you what was the gist with all those plz accounts, and how can i find them?
They seem pretty cool to put in a comment

Lawl, so random! I love it! I bet it sounds awesome with a bunch of guitars.

ummm, it's a long story, but here's what you do:

If you go here, it will show you were to find all the awesome emoticon things:



A whole bunch of plz accounts are listed in the journals. You just type a colon, "icon", the name of the plz account you want, and then another colon. It will show up amazing like this:



:icon(nameplz):

Super easy after you get the hang of it.

I'll just be playing and singing by myself (with my acoustic) and I still haven't practiced so, I guess i'd better get the guitar out.
