Anyone into guitars?

Here's a pic of my pool cue & my Ibanez bass guitar. The guitar was painted with a black base, with a purple flip flop skull & flames added. The pool cue has a black base with blue flip flop & black & white check with flames, cheers....Nige

VERY COOL PETE!!
Someone like ESP's!!! I think I may have spied a George Lynch model ESP in there??
I have a black Gibson Explorer that I ordered from Gibson back in like '86/'87?? I also have an Ibanez RX 7-string guitar. I'm actually thinking about selling the Ibanez guitar.

here is a couple picts. of my sons 1st guitar.with kind of a cool story behind it . I told him that i had a friends guitar that he wanted painted and needed his help on a design I figured he would just say it would just pick a random color. what he thought would look cool just blew my mind. he came up with the idea of painting it black then it needed a hippie symbol on it if he was into rock and roll .I said whats a hippie symbol. so he draws me a peace symbol complete with hot rod flames and said they had to wrap in and out of the peace symbol because any one thats into guitars must like hot rods to. but the flames had to be real fire style flames like mike lavallee paints only they would look better if they were blue and purple. I asked what we should do about the pick gaurd he looked around grabed a scrap piece of aluminum and said maybe we should make one out of this and make the swrills on it. I just stood there thinking holly #$%@.i did not realize that he was absorbing so much from random time in the garage. keep in mind he is eight years old. he continued to help make all the part for it and picked out some cool knobs for it and was completely shocked when he opened the present on his birthday. I hope this becomes his thing but if he just wants to help me design hot rods and guitars that would be ok with me. keep on rockin and cool thread.

Just started playing again a couple of moths ago. Unemployment and winter will drive you crazy sometimes!! lollll....
Here are a couple of my guitars. I run these through a Fender ProSonic amp, which out of production now and was sort of a "custom shop" design amp that Fender experimented with back some years ago. Sounds killer with the clean channel and the distortion just flat out KICKS MUCHO ASS!! It's got 2 gain channels and is a tube amp, (rectifier. up there with Mesa/Boogie and so forth.) I do not run any effects/distortion pedals. Although I do run a BOSS Noise Gate every once in a while.(I am really thinking about trading in the Ibanez 7 string for an ESP LTD MH-1000 guitar.)

I am not much of a music person myself. I painted a few guitars with some candies.

Not that it's anything special, BUT I have seen in person a genuine 1976 Jerry Garcia Travis Bean. Beautiful to say the least. Some wickedly cool Zemaiti guitars. And some various HOT late 50's Gibson Les pauls.

A gentleman I did some work for is a vintage dealer and showed me some Cool, cool stuff.

I bet those 50's Gibson's Les Paul's are worth some serious coin!!
Are they in good condition?
