Customizing my OLP John Petrucci Signature
« on: October 30, 2012, 02:47:25 AM »
I've had this OLP John Petrucci signature (that cheap replica of MM)  for many years now.
It was pretty cheap (about 700$) guitar but It's still pretty nice guitar to play.

So, I had this crazy idea to try customize it a little bit :p
I was thinking about the paintjob in JPM100 P2.

So i started working on it last night.
I went to this shop which manufactures advertisements for different kind of companies and bought these colour"stickers"  (sorry for my english :D)
These stickers are meant to be used on like shop windows and are pretty tough (They are supposed to endure different kind of weather and such).
I had to change those patterns a little bit cos the guitars shape isn't the same.

Today i'm gonna try to make the last two patterns and stick them on guitar :p

I was thinking that this must be the most FAKEST petrucci guitar ever ;

It's not Petrucci model...                                CHECK!
It's not Music Man...                                       CHECK!
It's not ibanez...                                            CHECK!
It doesn't have real "Picasso" paintjob...      CHECK!
:D

If it doesn't turn out fine, i can always take those stickers away.
So what do you guys think?

Heres a couple of pics;

here are the pics I promised :P
I tried to make the colour pattern look like jpm100 p2, but i guess im not that good choosing colours after all :D
It's not perfect but in my opinion it looks kinda cool! I guess I'll keep those "stickers" on for now.
As I said earlier,  I had to change those patterns a little bit to fit on that guitar shape.

I wish i'd see Petrucci play Music Man like this someday :)




My Charvel Fusion Custom wanted to pose with it;

Very tasty.  I'm with you.  Seeing JP play something like that would be fun.

Nice job on taking the overall look and feel of the original and making it work on a Music Man.

As someone with 20 years experience with that sort of thing, I can tell you that's exceptional work.  The gold section following the two contours is an amazing job.  WTG.
