Vinyl wraps/Guitar skins

[G-Axe]

Simon - that maple is surprisingly convincing in the photo - does it look the part in person? Odd that it isn't bookmatched.

Gavin - if I end up with something half as awesome as Tony's Blackjack, I'll be a happy man. The more I look at it, the more truly outstanding I find it.

Yeah me too. I've drooled over that axe big time. Would love to build one exactly the same.

cheers,
Gav.

It looks convincing until you get quite close up, then you notice that the flame pattern has no depth to it when you move the body. I agree, the lack of book-matching is impressive. Maybe Fender US didn't want the Jap ones to look too good. Still, it looks impressive if you're at audience distance. But I do plan to refinish it as the damage to the finish is starting to annoy me. I also plan to reshape the neck slightly.
