- Ultra 7000 Glamour Clearcoat Body Finish with Hot Pink Basecoat

Its a replica of Paul Gilbert's Ibanez Destroyer/Iceman hybrid (iceman lower horn.)
I'm including a pic of what its gonna look like, except it will have black binding and the knob and switch moved more towards the bridge. It'll also have matching hot pink (to body and neck) star inlays on the fretboard. And no fringe like in the pic.....well, we'll see. Hahahahaha. I'm damn stoked. Along with that other thread, real men really do play pink guitars.

That'll be pretty cool...as long as you don't have the fringe. That might be a little too much. Definitely an 80's guitar.

Nah, I don't really ever plan on putting fringe on anything; especially a guitar. I can't begin to imagine how annoying/hard it would be to try and play that thing with fringe on the neck. But I guess if you're Paul Gilbert, even the most difficult of setbacks become trivial when it comes to playing guitar.

It'll look great with those gloves of yours!

You can only imagine.....

Awesome! I love Paul Gilbert and his choice of colors/style. No minibucker in the neck?

Nah. I thought about it or a DMZ humbucker from hell, but I've never really used a minibucker and wouldn't know what to get or where to start with one. That and I know I want an Invader in the bridge and think that if you use one invader, you gotta use two cause it just don't look right otherwise. Plus, regardless of what people say, I think they sound fine as a neck pickup.
