Are you going to put a gotoh Floyd in? The original bushings are larger that Floyd rose bushings. The one on the left looks sloppy. I'd fill those with maple dowels and refill for the smaller bushings. Just a thought.

Yeah i am going to fill them with dowels and re-drill for my original floyd. I also have to cut a new nut slot for locking nut.
 
Thanks for input guys. I am going to leave as is. If i change my mind, it will be a solid color metallic paint job. No franky stripes.
 
I wouldn't specifically go for a Frankie paintjob for an Ibanez, the headstock would look all wrong. But if you're going for a homebrew shredder type build, I don't think I'd go for "pristine sunburst" on an Ibanez either.

Do something else cool with it.

Gold sparkle paint would go good with tuners and headstock logo. I am not big on bursts on anything but les pauls. The way it is now has grown on me so i am torn between leaving it or painting a solid color.

Maybe don't go full Frankie, but I could see a gold sparkle background with maybe a heavy relic job or some kind of dark/non-sparkle pattern or design painted over the sparkle. Sounds weird to say out loud but who knows how it might look in person. Get weird with it!
 
not a fan of ______ sparkle anything but that is me :dunno:

obviously do what makes you happy :yes:

and please come back and show us the end result.
 
The stock color kinda looks a bit boring. I would either do a relic job or new paint, but no Franken-style. What about yellow plus black racing stripes to match the headstock? They make you play faster ;)

Idk I just like the idea of people doing their own thing

Totes my brotes! Picked up a project recently myself thinking of going with some sort of an 80s neon-esque cyberpunk theme.
Get started with that dental work yet? Hope y'all are doing well!
