      [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I thought about that - The Jackson Can/Bottle Opener - opens 9 different bottles and cans, and can be used as a prybar or mountain climbing aid [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

      or The Jaws Of Death (Life) [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

        Hey, you know what? Since you swapped the Jackson pointy headstock Warrior wings with Jackson Death Angel wings, the headstock should also reflect that. May I suggest the Charvel/Wayne "beak"? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]



        I can't find a picture of the similar Charvel "beak" headstock but it looks nearly identical to the Wayne "beak". [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

          I like the shape, but the headstock still looks like a smurf hat [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

            Smurf Hat. Better than these two:

            The Beak:



            The Smurf Shoe:



            Now you see why it has the only head that fits [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                          I tried doing a "Ram's Horns" headstock - both Toucan and Smurf Shoe facing opposite directions - but it kept coming out looking like a Prince Philip [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                            Revised and submitted for a quote

                            Ok, this one may actually kick all ass:



                            Alder body
                            Ferrari Red with matching head
                            Bolt-on maple/ebony neck with Iommi Crosses
                            Jumbo frets
                            KV-2 neck profile
                            1 11/16" nut
                            Black logo
                            One Duncan Distortion
                            No knobs - straight to the jack
                            Slanted board end
                            Edge-mounted jack like on 1990 Warrior
                            SLS head
                            (I boo-booed on the binding - meant to select None but chose Neck and Headstock, but None for color - was going to go with red, but then red won't show against the head, and if it does it won't match unless I go with a Custom Color, which $uck$ [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] - I coulda done black binding, but it doesn't show against the ebony board, and no sense getting the head bound without the neck - besides, there's always black pinstripe tape [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])
                            Black hardware
                            Recessed OFR
                            G&G case with Red Poodle interior

                            I was going to do 2-hum, then decided onthe slanted board, which meant H-S, and just a mini-toggle to select pickups, but then figured it's just too aggressive for a neck pickup, so I went with the 1H layout and no knobs for maximum non-stop output - I mean, you won't play clean or Country on this thing [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
                            Probably should go with Baritone, but nah - if I want it that heavy I'll just put heavier strings on it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
                            And of course a Floyd for the all-important whammying [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
                            Actually I was going to design a stringthrough plate that kept the design motif, but damn that woulda took time and probably cost an assload [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                              I like it a lot! Couple of things I'd do: Flip the slant the other way and add a couple of partial frets beyond the 24th; and do a black neck/headstock binding, you don't really want to look at the fret slots along the edge of the 'board do you?
