If you think that it's "payabangan and a contest" thats your problem.

I just noticed that guitars look good in pictures when taken on top of a bed.  Darn, Blue Buddha even uses the same white bed sheet for the axes that he has generously showed us  .  Typical pose is on a plane diagonal to the camera lens either smack in the middle of the bed or almost dangling by the edge of the bed, so as to "elongate" the guitar, highlight its curves, and make the body look slender.  Lighting is 45-degrees to the guitar top, not only to to avoid harsh lighting, but to emphasize the smooth top and the "bling-blings" (bridges, pickups, strings, etc.).

There's gotta be a Freudian explanation for all of these.    If this were not a guitar forum, I pretty well might be talking about Vargas girl pin-up posters or raunchy artwork normally found on fighter aircraft noses.

Jaco is just shows that we guitar players treat our beloved guitars like women.... trophy women.

Heres my work:

I took an old beat up RJ LP Custom, and restored everything from the hardware to tuners and pickups. Even the finish was reglazed and buffed to get it to how it is now.

heres a link, as to not inconvenience you guys.

the point of the matter is yung GIO mo yung pinaguusapan. come on man aminin mo na kasi. di mo lang natiis na ipagmalaki yung mga higher end axes mo.hehe.la naman problema dun eh.

[gjuanengo]

@TheEdge: Thanks bro!

@Voodoosoup: All work was done by hand, my own two hands. The pickups are EMG 81(B) 85(N)
                         Also, there are TWO 9V batteries inside running at 18V for increased headroom.

OT:

thread title is "CHEAP GUITARS TURNED INTO GOOD LOOKING AND SOUNDING AXES, POST YOUR PICS!!!!"

"cheap" is relative...

for me a 4k can be considered cheap.. 40K+- is another story...

[Phil]

I didn't know there are a lot of "topic" nazis here.....  thank god you guys are not moderators.

....you guys lighten up.

[Machine_Head]

Thanks Phil!

oh wow... i rarely get to see great-looking RJ's lately. nice axe, gjuanengo! how does it compare to a Gibson LP with active pickups (Raw Power, etc.) in terms of tone and feel/playability?

[gjuanengo]

It sounds IDENTICAL to the zakk wylde LP on terms of tonal quality, but plays closer to an epiphone LP Custom.

The Epiphone LP's are darker due to the quality of the mahogany they use, this LP uses Primavera (White Mahogany) which makes it close, if not identical to the mahogany/maple used in the zakk wylde LP.

Thanks guys!

[gjuanengo]

Heres my newest project, completed just this morning.

Its my little bro's Ibanez GRGM21, which I upgraded to facilitate stable tuning and dangerously good looks.
