build finally done.

[80's_Metal]

I ordered the logo for it over a month ago, thanks mail for taking so long! Just got it in today.

Ended up putting a narrower R2 nut on it because both e strings were trying to skip off the board.

This thing is done, done, done.






Plays great now that the truss is settled in, and the Floyd settled in... Loving the x2n in the bridge.
This Bad boy wails.

It's been a great learning experience.
Thanks for all the input and info guys!

The x2n is like a charging hippo.

I saw all the work you did to it when you posted the pictures on the Dean Forum. I'm glad you got the logo to complete it. It's definitely it's own guitar, meaning it's one of a kind. I'm glad it came out so well after all the work you did to it. I personally hate finish work, mainly because I suck at it. So I'm glad you did a lot better than me.

Killer looking guitar. Is that a Bill Lawrence in the neck? I've got the X2N paired up with a PAF Pro myself.

Thanks so much guys! Really appreciate it.

The neck pup is a stock JAckson JSR32 bridge pup. It actually sounds really really good in there, may be the only neck pup I ever liked

It is one of a kind for sure. and I will abuse her accordingly.

I've always been a huge Chris Holmes fan, not necessarily because he was all that great of a guitarist, but he knew who he was and had no holds barred when it came to rocking the hell out.

His Bloody, Budweiser and Yellow Beast guitars are kind of the background inspiration for even building this.... too hard to find a star body... didn't want to destroy a brand new Charvel desolation Star.... Warrior was the next best (my own) thing. I do Love the Warrior.

Not sure if you already knew that or not, but this is my W.A.S.P. inspired guitar most definitely!
This one is as ugly as his bloody one, and going to beat the piss out of like his yellow beast..

I've got "the torture never stops" cued up right now ready to rock it out loud! Whoop Whoop!

Nice work. Project guitars are such fun. But did you need a transfusion afterwards or is it someone else's blood?

Made a new years resolution to finish this one ,My Budstar replica ,just need to decide how to do the graphic
Did a lot of research on the original
Korina body - like the guitar he borrowed from EVH ,SD distortion pickup,NOS Ibanez bridge , Grover tuners ,$$$ Warmoth neck Maple/Ebony

The hand written "custom" truss rod cover is a nice touch.
