Just paint it urban camo and you're done

i'd say that messing with the lower horn looks pretty bad... maybe trim it up a little bit, but that pic of the other guitar just looks bad. it's as if the guitar is injured, it just doesn't look right to me.

the other stuff is pretty sound though. just make sure you leave enough on the headstock or find some way to reinforce it so that it doesn't break, it looks like it might be a bit fragile, but then theres the blackmachines and the parkers that are similar.

I have one question about the floyd copy. Is that one of those single locking ones that only locks at the neck and not the bridge itself? If so, I'd be hesitant of unblocking it. I had one on another lower cost guitar and even the lightest use of the trem would take it out of tune within 15 minutes.

If it is actually a double locking, then I just wasted both of our time, haha.

Otherwise, have fun. The design sure isn't my cup of tea, but it also isn't my guitar.

Leave the lower horn on and the body as is. Seriously, those are killer bodies.

Tom what about doin the rusty cooley mod? Just sculpting the lower horn back.

At least that would be better than removing the lower horn.

Who cares?

Yeah, it's his choice.

Erm the headstock... i doubt that will be able to take the 7 strings, its very thin looking Parkers barely hold 6 and ive seen what can happen with thick strings and too much tension before so be careful
Why not save up and get a proper custom shop by like, lag or ESP
