No... I just stenciled them.

The inverted cross design is a logo of sort for my band.

oh yeah! got dual T's! nice rig! :evil:

by the way, can you share what pick-ups you use? I'm looking to change mine and I want to preserve the tone of the amp as much as possible but get an extra edge for power chord...the guitar fetish pick-ups looks pretty sweet...another thread perhaps...

I keep hearing the DiMarzio SD's are the way to go.  I invested in some of the Gibson Tony Iommi pickups, and I've gotta say, I wasn't blown away. I might swap them into my Viper and see how they sound as opposed to the active EMGs, though.

Otherwise, I'll just sell them and get an SD for my bridge.

If you want to hear what the super distortions sound like check out parasam gâte it is a song my band did a rough demo of it starts off in the middle of the song. Only recorded one guitar track the only effect is a proco rat distortion pedal. Here is the link:
http://www.myspace.com/gatedoom
Also I have been reading about these pick ups Dimarzio has called D-Sonic's. It is a double coil humbucker bridge pickup. if you buy the set it comes with a Air Norton neck pickup. Depending on how you in stall the D-Sonic, it can either bring out the lows or it can bring out the highs for soloing they read really cool, but not sure how they sound. I am considering picking up a set and having it installed in my Ibanez PF300. 
Here is the write up from sam ash direct:
 Dimarzio DP207 D Sonic Humbucker Electric Guitar Pickup

Introducing DiMarzio's first heavy humbucker of the 21st century. The DiMarzio® D Sonic™ is a high-output bridge humbucker designed for the extended low end and heavy chords that dropped tuning delivers, plus serious treble response for single-note solos and standard tuning. The D Sonic™ isn't just a one-sound pickup, either. In addition to the standard series humbucking sound, our patented design utilizes four-conductor wiring to access two different single-coil sounds plus parallel humbucking mode, for three additional sounds that are distinctive and versatile.

Recommended For: Solid body guitars, bridge position.

cool, I love your tone on the myspace link!

The D-sonic looks pretty good for my drop A bari...but I've ordered a pair of GFS Vintage 59 VEH for 70$ which is the price of the D-Sonic bridge alone.

I'll see how it sounds, I think I'll swap the bridge with the D-sonic if I don't like it...I would like to be able to use both pick-ups without being too muddy and keep the attack. It gives more thump this way but loose the clarity so, for now, I use just the bridge.

thanks

Awesome setup. I'm trying to get a hold of a damn 1st gen to go with my 2nd gen. I like the guitar, are you a fan of Stephen O'Malley by any chance?
