Ok, since I'm almost done with it, I figured I'd post pics of my latest monstrosity - a Snakeskin Dave Mustaine King V Pro [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

All I got left is to do the edges and give it a bath (all-around coating of sealer) and then cut out the hardware holes [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
This one took me a while because I wanted to think about each step before doing it, then changing my mind later (like I did with the Zebra Star).
I had originally planned to do a Zebra V and the Star in Snake, but didn't like the way the pattern lined up for the Star, and didn't have enough Zebra left over to do the V. I was going to redo it in Winter/Urban Camo, but didn't have enough of that left over after the first go-round to redo it. Plus, that Camo fabric was really thick, and since I wanted to cover the neck as well, it woulda left a thick, sharp edge next to the binding, which is a bad thing [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Sadly I didn't take the in-progress pics like I shoulda (for a tutorial at ProjectGuitar) but if anyone wants me to do one for them.... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
It took me about 2 months to get this far with it from re-start to right now (plus I didn't work on it every day, plus I had to wait on the stopbar/tunamatic, etc), so you figure 6-8 weeks total start to finish if I had not converted it from the 3310, and since I know more what I'm doing and how to do it, another one would probably take 4-6 weeks.
