Thanks guys.

This is a DIY sticker.

I tried to get custom shop coloured Blackouts made but the weren't able to do it.

I am sooooooooooooo happy with the outcome. I just need the rest of the guitar ;-)

Cant wait to the final outcome. :D
I wouldn't mind doing a floral jem replica, or any other guitar with that floral pattern aka mummas curtains. Only issue is it would be hard to find the floral material vai used.

It's so you can see the finish but not damage it.

The original floral is beautiful. I'm not so sold on the new one though.

The DNAs were some of the coolest Jems. I like the orange/black swirl that Vai owns, don't think that was a production model.

The solution for coloured Blackouts is a good one; if you used passives you could've got bobbin toppers but DIY is always more fun and rewarding.

I like the pink bits, and the guitar isn't bad also. Is that a neck through Hm?

:naughty:.

Cherry Ice and Shocking Pink are among my fav Ibanez colours (you lissenin', Ibanez? Black guitars :thumbsdow:); the latter for its loudness, and the former for its soft sparkle.
