Snakeskin Superstrat Completed

[Securb]

Looks sweet John, and it sounds as good as it looks.

I actually mocked it up with some gold covers, but I thought it was just a little "too much". It would be cool to have a snakeskin suit....lol

You needed to be in full snake skin and boots regalia with matching cowboy hat and silver and turqouise jewelry with the proposed guitar to make a full and accurate assessment of the gold pickups.

it's the only way gold pickups reveal themselves.

Alder Body - KnE Guitars

Body Covering - The Snake Pit on Facebook

Maple Neck - Warmoth

Pickups - Planet Tone Poundcake set

It sounds pretty damn good, plays fantastic, resonates like crazy, and is louder as hell unplugged.


I recorded this with my Fractal AX8. It's an Atomica High Amp Model with a stock G12T75 IR, and the Bass/Mid/Treble/Presence/Depth/Gain all on 7. The solo is with the neck pickup.

That looks like the SD KNE body…? How do you like it. I’ve been thinking of ordering one along with a neck from him. Worth it or no?

That is awesome. Sound great too. Nicely done.

Looks great brother!

That's exactly what it is. I have no complaints whatsoever. It resonates like crazy. I think with shipping It was right at $150, which is a heck of a deal. He recently went up $25 because of wood prices, but even at $175, it's still a great price, in my opinion.

Enjoyed the clips way to go

Looks great JJ. Whatever happened to the 2 (I think) explorer or V types you were assembling? I recall one being an awesome purple finish.

⁴What does it feel like man? Is it like vinyl?

It looks really cool, I wish they had more snakeskin patterns, like certain pythons & rattlers. . Maybe even some lizards.

Holy mother of ****ing slither!

What is really irritating here - is that not only is that so bad@$$ looking that if you never played a note, it would intimidate the hell out of other guitarists, but that Jolly can play as good as it looks!

They were Icemen. They Icemaned us. Don't ask - let it go. Sad story is sad....

The Icemen like Aceman said. I didn't know what I was doing as far as finishing them. I still have the blue one. I think I got drunk and stepped on the purple one and broke it....lol

It feels like tolex. I think that's pretty much what it is. Check out that Facebook link I posted. There are some pretty cool patterns on there.
