New mockups! Infinity 7's for your eyeballs!

Variant · 07-29-2007, 09:13 PM

Hot on the heels of my high-res redux of the ∞8 lineup, I have heeded the requests of many here, and in a few other forums, to expand the Infinity bodyshape (back) to the much loved seven-string format. So, here you are, four ∞7 mockups in an array of varied finishes dredged from the mire of my brain.

A lot of people were asking for a trans-white model in seven string and/or with and ebony board, so let it be written (er... illustrated)! I opted for a regular (non-figured) maple top here as a change from the quilt on the ∞8 model. Also, I had to do a maple fingerboard model for all those deprived by Ibanez's secret hatred of maple fingerboards... and I basically went all-natural with the motif, ditching the maple top & headstock veneer to expose the neck-through stripes, and finishing the understated nature of the theme with vintage silver hardware.

The other two designs are a deep violet over quilt with some contrasting Vai/Gilbert-flamboyant chrome orange appointments (I know, some will hate

), and a variation on the RG-Metal scheme applied to an ∞7, except darker and thoroughly clear coated. Me likes this one very much.

All the illustrations get passive pickups as they're what most buyers would opt for and I did the first two models as 27.0" baritone scaled, while the latter two are a conventional 25.5" just to mix things up a bit. Anywho, oogle some more of my fantasyland guitars and let me know what you all think!

Dude, those are badass. Makes me GAS for something that half-way exists

I like what the last one's fingerboard is made of

MAKE...IT...REAL!

Awesome.

Those look amazing. How much work is it to modify a finish? Do you just exchange the layer (presuming you're using Photoshop)?

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see a mockup with 'Egyptian Smoke' color that EBMM put on some of their instruments. http://www.basscentral.com/musicman/..._FB.JPG_tn.jpg

nice body shape - reminds me of an S mixed with an RG with insane edges.

eelblack2 · 07-29-2007, 09:33 PM

Funny the natural one is very similar to one I have had in process for a year now. Glad to see someone else would make similar choices.

Neck is the one with no inlays and is heavily flamed/quilted:

Doing a reverse 7 headstock as well.

Another similarity is that I actually have a Gray PAf7 from a K7 to stick in the neck.

It can be simple, depending on the finish... others are more difficult especially stuff with patterns.

Sure, I'll consider for my next run of illustrations. I thought about a sand color (more like Caparison's though). Is that EBMM color just a solid brown-goldish or is that a blackburst from the edges? It's hard to tell in such a small picture.

I really dig that white one.

Yup, I wanted to combine lean and evil.

It's just a solid color, no burst. Would an RGB value of what I had in mind be of any use? The problem with photos is that the lighting can change the perceived hue significantly.

One more thing, aren't the fretboards supposed to have a 'real' fretboard wood? Looks like the top and bottom mockups share their body's finish.
