Very nice. Not sure about the playing card thing, looks a little goofy to me. Might be cooler to have it airbrushed on the open area somewhere. I'm not a fan of those old bridge covers either, I can't palm mute with them.

I was liking it more before I saw what you have it plugged into though :)

Kustom = vomit

Hello Cjcar63,

I remember when Kustom made
those padded amps in that color.

Nice job on that guitar, best of luck
with it.

Cheers.

Thanks guys. There's a story behind that "Ace of Spades", but I won't bore you with it. And yes I did spray the face of the headstock with clear matte lacquer after applying the vinyl decals. You can also do the same with water-slides. But depending on the quality of the decals, they could crack and peel as the paint drys. If you're using water slides make sure to give them about 48 hours to dry thoroughly before applying an overcoat. As far as the amp goes... I paid $250.00 for it brand new and I'll match it up against any amp in it's price range... ie Vox... etc. 12" Celestion speaker, no plastic knobs , tube pre-amp, solid state effects, and 30 watts... PLEASE!
