Direction of flames on guitar?

[MikeS]

I'm working on paint ideas for the Warmoth SG. You guys generally like to see flames on a guitar with the base of the flames at the neck (a la Wattage's tele and TC's recently finished Tele) or with the base of the flames below the bridge?

I prefer them with the base of the flame at the neck. Looks better when you play it.

That is very cool when the guitar is standing!
But I still prefer them the other way around.

It may be ok if the flames come from the bottom right, so it come from the bottom when you are standing.

i do, isnt that james heitfields old barriton signature?

Re: Direction of flames on guitar?

That's cool how the flames kind of work with the horns... I've been trying to incorporate that into the design... that may work. My flames are likely going to be a bit more of the old school style; fatter and not as wispy.

that, is the Grynch, James Hetfield's Baritone ESP viper :22: .

Nite_Maresz_25 and SpeedDemon right on dudes!

i like the design of that axe. the flames. i think it looks better than James' latest sig,the Eclipse model. ESP eclipses look good but not with that grey paint coat.

Re: Direction of flames on guitar?

if only the grynch wasn't a barritone...man i love that guitar but have no real "need" for a barritone.

Re: Direction of flames on guitar?

no...overpriced is the right term lol. i love most ESPs but i've seen those things on ebay at stupid prices now...just like the KH Ouija.

Your guitar's mother is so stupid it takes her an hour to...




Oh... I'm sorry, you meant the PHYSICAL directions of the flames ON the guitar, not AT it.
