diablo175 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Badger Dave is one of the few on here that shares my appreciation for graphically powerful guitar finishes. I've seen several in his herd, over the years, that have caught my eye! Kudos! That's a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it last time you posted pics too. I'm using Firefox, is Firefox my problem? They don't show for me either with FF. That's why I could only comment on the pants. Sorry TBone, you know I wouldn't pick on you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerDave Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 This was the inspiration (on the left): and this is how the Eclipse left the factory: I really wanted to use some Kelvanator knobs, but the damn things blocked access to the blade switch.

Sorry TBone, you know I wouldn't pick on you my friend. Weird. I use FF and was able to see the guitar fine, which is why I posted the pants. You won't believe how popular they made me when I was walking around Manhattan on Halloween 2009. I only bring them out for special occasions now. I don't have the V220 anymore though, so without a "hair metal" guitar I feel kinda weird wearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcnorth Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm was running the latest version of FF too. I went and downloaded it and reinstalled and now the pics show up. Maybe one of my add-ons was causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB0531 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's just absolutely perfect. Llke a free-form random zebra pattern. Unpredictable waves. I like the knobs, not the typical guitar issue, but what you would find on a piece of studio gear or high end audiophile preamp. Top one bridging two black stripes with black over white. Black on black next. Pure white selector cap on white. The mini rotary knob last, almost hidden in the blackness of the stripe. The tone to the bone cover bringing it all to an end.

Roshark Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 That guitar looks awesome ! I would have loved to see the Zebra stripes continue up the back side of the neck . That is a very small quibble and not meant to detract from such an outstanding achievement . A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, but I actually like the white neck. It gives the graphics some contrast and balance. Just a beautiful custom re-work all around. Looks like one of those “one guitar covers it all” for gigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Was that originally a 3-PUP Eclipse or did you add a PUP? I loved my 3 PUP Eclipse.......but it was nowhere as spiffy as that Zebra finish. Nice !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
