In those pics where it is fully framed, it has a cool looking into deep-space vibe for me. I think you did not screw it up.

The finish is amazing. I’ve never seen another guitar like it. Lots of subtle details that may not stick out at first look, but that you notice and appreciate as you give it a second look. I really like it. Great job!

Oh yeah, the backplates are polycarbonate and I am thinking of giving them a bit of texture? Also, I know there's no trussrod cover: I kinda started hating those and I stopped doing that on my newest guitars; deal with it

Looks like there's a cover on in the top photo.

I always enjoy looking at your builds...you have a very unique way of seeing things. This one is no exception. I love the creative uniqueness of it.

I like the 2nd one much more personally.

Thanks ( are you talking about the old or new finish by the way?).

This axe is totally not your thing, though. It's way too heavy (a true LP in that sense) and screams like a banshee.

I mean the new finish. I can still appreciate instruments that I can't use professionally. I like all kinds of designs.

I'm not voting.

I really like the burst - but the splatter killed it.

I think a redo would be in order. The color is bad@$$. Buff the top of those dome knobs to silverish

I definitely wouldn't say you screwed it up. I'd play either, but the copper finish looks waaaaaaaaaaay more interesting. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's cooler than the generic purpleburst. The cool thing about the splatter is that it'll do a literal ton to hide wear marks from picking and anchoring and the like.

I say cool job.

I'm really surprised that the splatter is a buzzkill for so many of you. I won't redo this because this finish (process) is very, very expensive. Just to give you an idea: a normal finish costs me around 50 euro's (filler, dye, top coats), this is almost 200 (filler, 2K primer, 2K black, the two chameleon basecoats, topcoats). It's just not worth it. Also, I had some issues with the edges near the neck with this finish and doing yet another will be way, way too difficult to get it clean. This finish is here to stay till the end of time, or till the universe comes to an end I will do something similar like this, but in White Pearl with gold chameleon burst, sans splatter, to soup up an old body again.

That is very cool. Such a unique finish. Nicely done. I could go with or without the splatter. From a distance it almost adds this "view of the stars" thing to it even though the splatter is red.

Yeah, it looks to me like a nebula, and I am a space nerd.
