I remember seeing that someone gave one of their guitars a mirror finish, either someone from here or on Vai's site. They used some sort of mirror-like wrap that they bought off ebay. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd like to try this out on my old strat that I don't use. I can see how it looks and if I like it enough to do to one of the guitars I use. I know I'll be doing some modifications to the strat (I want to change a few things on it anyway, maybe put humbuckers in and a new neck) and sand down the finish, it's alittle beaten anyway. I'll see if a search on Vai's site brings anything up... I think the person said there were other types of 'wraps' you could pick from, like marble and other different and uncommon types of finishes. How cool would it be to have a guitar with a mirror finish on it (even if it isn't really a real mirrow finish.) If I find what I'm looking for I'll post it up so you can see what I'm talking about.
-EDIT: Found what I was looking for.... Check out what this guy did, I'm going to do it to my old Strat (practice) and then if it comes out realy nice I'll do it to one of my guitars I use. Then I can work on another custom finish on the strat for whatever project I decide to start on for another guitar.

You are welcome.
I hope you get your package sometime soon. I can't wait to laminate the poster - or mount it - on the wall. Maybe someday, I will get it autographed.
Say - wasn't this contest back in November?

82DeanZ...you did a superb job on Mohog....
Keniko...checked your tunes again, and it seems I cannot listen...is it functioning correctly?
Guitarmeister....the vinyl will work, but it's not that durable to scratching...get the exterior grade which is more expensive, or check out your local Chrome Plater and see what he'll charge to plate one for you...IMHO....vinyl is tricky to work with, bubbles, dust, wrinkles...it might take you a couple of tries....maybe, test it out on something disposable first...piece of wood or acrylic to see what the nuances of application are. Good Luck!

Stevee T I'll definitly try it out on a few pieces of wood 1st to make sure I have the process down pretty well. Then I'll try it out on my Strat, see how I like it. Then, I'll work really hard and be very precise doing it on one of the main guitars I use. I'd like to do it to my Ibanez RG, but I like the all white finish with white perloid pickguard, looks like FLO or EVO. I'm thinking about maybe buying another guitar and giving it a mirror finish, because I don't really want to put a mirror finish on either my Les Paul (red sunburst), Ibanez RG (all white w/ white perloid pickguard), or Peavey EXP (shiny gold flake). I like the finish on all of them...so, I guess I'll just buy another guitar, or put my own custom guitar together and give it a mirrow finish... I'd like to find an Ibanez JS body. Or, I've been wanting an Ibanez JS, maybe I'll pick up a JS100, give it a mirrow finish and change the pickups and it'll be one kick ass guitar!
peaceandguitars That 9/11 thing was crazy! Could it be a coincidence or what!!!

alter_ego_of_joe, hey thanks for your interest! You can use the following link - http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=259685 - to check out some of the tracks on my soundclick page. The further down the list you go the older the tracks get, and thus, the crapper the tracks get! haha. I might invite you to check out "The Jester" and "Silver Rain" though 'cause I'm fairly happy with those!
js1200js1000, yeah I know the bit you mean dude! Nice one, I haven't tried Searching yet, it's pretty epic! Oh and do you know how much I envy your gear collection?! Digitech Whammy and JS1200.....yeah I'd be happy with that for jamming with!
Also thanks, I dunno if I'm that smart but I try my best! hehe. have a cool afternoon bro!

Hey Satchland...
Has anyone seen the new Geico commercial? What the hell is "pie & chips" ? I can only guess that the "chip" part means french fries? The possibilities on the "pie " end are endless I suppose....I know it has an entirely different meaning but it just sounds (and tastes) WRONG...

Stevee T:
Since you have both chrome JS guitars, how do they compare? Are there any tonal differences between the two? Is one finish better looking than the other? Just curious.
Best Regards,
Mike.

Yeah man I'm cool, I've got some pretty awesome assignments heading my way. For the next 3 weeks we are learning how to model and properly texture a car (a mini cooper as I have chosen), for one of my other classes it revolves around drawing manga/ anime characters...so all is going nicely.
My aunt is still battling on, my mom said she looks very tired and is concerned that the inevitable may occur soon. I hope she's wrong but it's something we're undoubtedly going to have to face at one time or another.
It's my birthday this weekend and I've already decided what I'm spending my money on...books, and booze...3 books on CGI and 3D modelling and 1 Book on animation in general.
It should be a good weekend, I can't wait to get home and play my 7-string again :-)
Hows everything going with you anyway, dude?
