BTMN Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Lil preview. I tweaked it very slightly. I cut the Gamma a hair and sharpened it up in Irfanview photo program.
BTMN Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 All goes as planned it will look like this. Photoshop by FGJ
donner Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 That is beautiful. For the photoshop work, I love using curves for lightening and sharpening a ton in the black channel, or general sharpen in LAB mode and convert to CMYK then shapen slightly more in the black channel. Thus: Pics or it didn't happen!
foodermon Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Fantastic flame! And no surprise. That will rock in red!
BTMN Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Y'all are to kind. Without Mike Shishkov's OUTRAGEOUS entry level pricing I could not have afforded to have ordered I'm afraid. It is to him I am most appreciative.I am looking forward to the new things I will learn on this guitar. One of the first things to get my attention on the HFC when I found it in around late 1998 was a Trans Red Standard owned by a member from I wanna say Houston. It was in the gallery up at that time. That and reading posts from a guy named AnDy.
cmatthes Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Yep - that was #0555, right Gene? Life IS good, my friend!
bubs_42 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 It will be a fine masterpiece when complete that is for sure. I can't believe that i'm actually looking foward to the Email for more MONEY!
BTMN Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 Life IS Good! Thanks Mike!!!!! Going this way.... Going that way.....
cmatthes Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 THAT is a perfect flame top, Gene.WOW!!!"28 RT"Life IS good!
rj2858 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Love the color you've picked Gene, it's gonna be a beauty!
bubs_42 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I'm with CM, it has just enough wave to make it move and change with each angle.
atomicwash Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Now I want to refinish all my guitars in red. This forum is not good for me.
polara Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I'm not sharing my "top shot," but I have seen pics of No. 21 sprayed with color and clear, pre-buffing. Since that email was July 16, I think we're talking "soon" for ETA of the finished guitar.
