My Clone Is Complete

[Yetti]

So my clone is complete of my dream guitar.
I drew this up on paper shrank it down to the correct size and then printed it to clear labels and here we go... can see the labels in the right light but i dont care i think i looks pretty bad ass











Yeh i posted these in 2 places but o well i wana share the fun...Enjoy

Wow ! It looks really great Yetti, could you please tell me how did you do that ? I'd like to do something similar with a ouija kit (remember, Io posted a topic about that a few days ago), or with a skull and crossbone!

By the way, is that a Gibson Explorer or else ?

[Yetti]

Yeah man im happy with it. I ended up like i said...took the original picture (Pic One) and Drew it up on paper to my liking or as close as i could to get it. took about 2 hours. Then went to work and we have a bunch of monster printers for color printing and whatever.
So i scanned it and reduced it to the right size since i had a harder time drawing it scaled down. Then printed it to some Avery Clear Label paper. Like Clear mailing labels but a full sheet...then cut it out and placed on the guitar..and wallah.

Mines just an explorer copy...but a damn good one. Called the Agile Ghost. The tail piece is elongated about another 3/4 of an inch or so its not a gibson since the company cant make the exact model. But its A company called Agile. They do some kick ass work. Its Solid Mohogany, Neck Through, With good tuners, A good bridge and pickups just awesome, its All hand made and shit. Close to the same thing as getting a gibson or esp but with out the price of the name. They only put out a few thousand of my version. And havent made any more very similar. Probably could be worth something in some years since they never make very many of the same guitar.

You can check out their stuff at - http://www.rondomusic.net/electricguitar.html - i have never been a fan of Les Paul Style guitars but they got this Agile Al-2000 thats silver burst...the first time i saw it, it made me melt. But i dont think i would ever buy it since im saving for my dream amp.

Yeh i remember a bit about the ouija kit...With my idea it could be possible...i guess you would have to in a sense trace out your guitar on a sheet of paper to see where the pickups would be and then attempt to either draw around that or get someone to design it around the shape of the design that way...so if you were able to print it out it would line up and such. Would be a probably a more inexpensive way of doing so. but might take some more time. But if you are a good artist/drawer might turn out pretty cool

Thank you Yetti for all those details, it appears to be a bit technical for me though, maybe reproducing the Ouija Sticker kit will be too complicated for me, I think i'd better reproduce the skull and crossbone (remember the picture I posted on the other topic) but what I need is to find a big picture of the sticker and then follow the steps you described here above.

Concerning your guitar, I must say: damn it looks very nice, who cares if it's a Gibson or an ESP what is more important for me is how it looks and especially how it sounds! Do you have an idea of the pickups ! Which brand is it ? Are they made by Agile ?

I'll check their website out and try to see if I can find an great explorer model (I want one quite similar to yours but in black)

Nice yetti, glad to see you were able to find what you wanted. Come to Illinois and we'll have a hetfield wannabe competition!

[FBM]

Nice work man!
It's very smiliar to James's guitar there, looks good.
Well done

Haha Hell yeah man...when i get my Mesa Boogie MarkIIC+ Im down hah.


@ Sacha - Yeah man i dig this one...i dont even care if its gibson or not. Ive never played a gibson but im sure i still would like this one. The Pickups are Wax Poted or something...i regret now that i never printed the page off their website with all the specs and shit. Cuz i cant even remeber all the technical specs. But everything is pretty much the same on all the guitars too. Same pickups if you were to look at some other ones. I do know they are passive pickups though...very quiet and reduces feedback and such.

Yeh They are up to what appears 4 ghosts now.
1) The white one like mine. (Few Years ago now Since its been up)
2) An All black one like mine...and all black hardware. Shortly after that came out they took mine off the site.
3) Now Looks like the All mahogany one kindof like a Ken lawrence but they modified the bodie a bit. Not to my likeing but its pretty nice never the less.
4) And All Black one with the different style body like the Ken one. Or if you eamiled them and talked directly to the guy I think his name is (Jeff-Was back then probably a bigger company now) he might even make one of the old black ones just for you.

But yeah the Ouija decals would deffinatly take some time...might be very dificult to do it the way i did mine.
But the Skull and Crossbones would probably work beautifuly.
Theres also places on ebay that you can get Inlay material and make your own inlays which is kinda cool. Back in the day i cut out the 4M Star logo and put it on fret one of my EXP Like james has on his V's and the Diamond plate EXP. It looked pretty cool for a while till it fell apart haha. But now i see they have better versions and even ones specifically designed and already cut out for Metallica guitars. Which is pretty cool.

But yah the skull and crossbones would work the best in that case unless you can find an artist or something thats really good and would make the ouija graphics.
