Happy with the pics now then Jenn?

I thought you'd recognize them because i got them off your site

and Bean i believe it was some kind of Lemon cake was tasty!

I forgot to say i had a chance to play on Jaden's Pink swirl custom PGM and it played very very well shame i always crumble when playing in front of anyone including Jaden.

Jaden showed me some birds eye maple he has got in stock and it looks incredible, definitely a wood too look in to, it's damn expensive though!

Yes... they are good.
Yeah I know all of those are on my Fireman showcase page. And it's great that you shared them here too.

Here's vague for you: Somewhere, someone was saying that figured necks, or necks containing a knot, are more susceptible to breakage, or warp, or something else really bad. And some guitar company wouldn't guarantee figured necks (maybe Warmoth?) So if you like bird's eye maple... it's probably great for anywhere but the neck.

You need to get Extreme Isolation headphones to complete the look!
Are you going to put your name on the headstock?
Will you get a hardcase with it?
Also is it going to be exactly the same neck joint as Paul's as this neck joint looks different

Hi Dr.Zaius, thanks for the pics, the more the better.

The guitar shall have Jaden's name on the headstock because

A) His logo is awesome
B) If he's going to make an awesome guitar for me i at least owe him that.

Jaden has told me i will be getting a hard case and it is also in the quote so i presume so but I'll need Jaden to confirm that.

With regards to the neck joint it will hopefully be exactly the same as Paul's.

I haven't really given Jaden a list of criteria that i want, i've simply asked for it to be built to exactly the same specifications as the Ibanez model.

Easier said than done

I e-mailed Jaden with regards to the case and he told me it will most probably be postal monkey

Jaden linked me to United kingdom flag but i think i prefer the Evil Doctor one also shown below. I'm just wondering if Jaden would be able to find it in stock in the UK It might be slightly more expensive than the British flag one, I'm not sure.





There are many more cases on the main site, which ones do you guys like?

I like the lynch cases, the dragon, and plaid case, but not for a fireman.

I'm getting a little hard at the thought of the fireman coming out of this

I love all these - nearly 40 years old and still a kid

Hi Jaden

EDIT- Changed my mind to the Day of the Dead one

Can't be associated with Scotland lol

Holy crap you just gave me a hard case of GAS

...........

I've chosen the Day of the Dead case 100%



Here are some more beautiful pictures.



I've sent jaden the link (ebay) via e-mail so he can see the pictures on a much larger scale

http://cgi.ebay.com/Ibanez-Paul-Gilbert ... tsupported

So you got one then!?

I'm sure those pictures will be of great use to Jaden so thanks a lot.

Should have some production pictures to share within the next couple of days

if im not mistaken, thats my fireman

Some early production pics

EDIT- Jaden is getting more Korina in and starting re-doing this part due to the grey shades in the wood





Here's where the magic begins
