Attack of the Killer V's

[metalchurch]

I know, stupid title.

I got a Flying V body that I'm working on right now. I'm in the process of trying to come up with a cool paint scheme for it.
I was thinking maybe a George Lynch inspired Kamikaze type design, or maybe an Urban Camo paint job.

It is a 24 fret / 25.5 inch scale body.
1 Volume
1 3 way toggle
2 Humbuckers

I'm probably going with a non-trem Kahler and a Floyd Style locking nut on the neck. Not sure yet.

And the best part is that it will be a right handed guitar, so if anyone is interested, or has any ideas, let me know.

Kamikaze 1 Paint job:

Urban Camo Paint job:


Right now, I'm just brain storming ideas about paint and hardware configuration. The Kamikaze paint job will be hard to pull of right, because of the V shape, so I'm not really sure on that yet.
I also thought about a Bullseye like the old Charvels.

How about The Visible Vee, like the Visible Human Body, which is a painting of a guy with no skin. You'd have muscle tissue and tendons and maybe even creepy eyeballs like the regular painting.
You'd have the only one around.
Or, as it's a metalhead guitar, give it a decidedly non-metal theme, like cowboys, or tractors. I have a Warlock with Bass fishing stickers on it that I like to play blues and country on, both because it's a weird thing to do, and because it actually has a very full clean sound. ------>JMS

A Warlock with fish on it? That's awesome!

I'm building this right handed, just for the quicker re sell factor, so it's like tits on a boar to me. (You know, fun to play with,but you get strange looks when caught.)

I'm probably going to finish this to sell it. I only play Jackson V's cause I love 'em so much!

I was bored and needed something to work on and I got a great deal on this body, and I couldn't resist. I'm probably not going to build any more Strat shaped guitars any more.

I was just trying to do something a little different with a V that I haven't seen before. I do have to try and be original about it, and stay away from other player's designs. I always liked the Kamikaze paint job though.
Just fishing for ideas (hahaha!)

I have this cool picture of this guy who is just a little obsessed with Maiden, and it reminded me of your idea.

I'm a big Lynch fan but I really dig that Urban Camo. I think that would be bad ars Joe!!!

I second the urban camo.
