It’s the 1980s all over again. Very Sunset Strip hair Metal.

@Bucket those aren't awesome. I just can't get behind any guitar that comes with more colours than a bucket of LSD.

Not sure I'd want to own one, but I think they're awesome.

@Dominic It's a Joe Satriani signature Ibanez, yes.

I really liked the JS1000BTB I tried years ago: Strattier neck than yer average shredder, great mix of tones with lots of switching options, comfy body.

found some pics of my red over gold leaf swirl attempt from about 5 years ago... it got stripped pretty quickly after this

Must have been a bummer needing to strip it after all the effort doing gold leaf first

Nah, it was all just for fun and pissing about.  

Not everything I try works, but I have fun doing it.  although I reckon I was only a few more goes off something like the original pic above.  so maybe I should have stuckwith it


Edit... and it wasn’t real gold
