Do you still have all those guitars Mutt? I love the RG swirl and pink paisley Strat. Didn't realive Fender issued SRV model in paisley.
WOW!!! Kramersteen I noticed one guitar of yours has ... TWO BRIDGE pups![]()
Absolutely stunning guitars, all of them in this thread.
I think his works look pretty crude. Looks like they were made by hand using a chisel as opposed to power tools. I hope I don't get chastised for this![]()

Not sure if this fits the bill or not... it's not painted graphics, but clear epoxy over char and scarring from a house fire about 20 years ago. Made a very cool and unique finish, is perfectly smooth, and this guitar is STILL my #1 even after owning it for almost 30 years!

For anyone who cares this guy here also went by the forum names verbotenco and brian griffin.
Indonesia LOL
first of all, you come off like a jerk by saying that. second, some of the best instruments the world will ever hear have been made by hand tools.
if this is true, he would be banned but there is no evidence of that
Have you actually had any experience with Gotoh? It is much better than the German OFR. Just because it's a licensed doesn't mean it's crap. Also, take a look at the Ibanez Edge, also by Gotoh. It's far superior than the German FR. Smoother and better handling cause the bar is longer and straighter than that on FR, better grip on the fine tuners (the grooves are rougher than those on OFR); plus, the bar is push-in, as opposed to using a collar like the German FR. Tighter and more practical. On the FR you actually have to wrap a plumber's tape around the collar in order for the bar to stay still.
There is a reason Steve Vai has abuses the Edge for that last 28 years. I can't recall anyone who holds his guitar up with only the bar and yet it stays intact.
Ibanez Original Edge (the one in the very first Jem in 1987) is often claimed to surpass original FR.
The only good bridges are the Ibanez Edge and Gotoh. The Gotoh even comes with a brass block stock, like the ones in Fernandes Japan. No upgrade required.
