GIO also got alot of model too>..<
Some of the GIO is old model. some is new.
LAst time i saw 1 model red color but difffrent neck >..<

yea...but i still prefer your model, with fret's neck marking like thunders..

then get it
u already loves the design of it, u already in love in it, ur mind set onto it, why not grab it on ur nearest store??

hahah.. yea... and make a gio club here at LYN. I'll be joining you all when my grg270 project finish...

oooooo, a new kind of gio??? looks the same except it doesnt have the thunder-kind neck

No lah.. Its an old gio bought cheap from fellow forummer here, and no, it doesnt have thunder-like neck (actually this thing called 'sharktooth inlay' )., it has dot inlay instead. I'm trying to get the electronic working (still looking for 500k pot with longer threaded collar) and then to get the mechanical parts working (fitting a new trem - Lo-TRSII, getting string clamp, string retainer). Finally, maybe a repaint.. hmm.. still in dilemma what color scheme should i choose

wow......so much work........... msut cost alot. why dont u just buy a new guitar istead??

i guess he just wants to have a 'project' guitar.
Dude, don't just go for plain colours la, airbrush ur gf pic or something.

Not so much cost la.. A new guitar of the same model would cost 700++. That one bought at 250. I have a spare Lo-TRSII trem (previously planned to be swapped with licensed floyd rose on my other guitar but realized it had different width and radius). Pots should be cheap. All other missing part already got it. Just a few more tweaking and it done!

I've been thinking of either VH1 scheme or ibanez DY..

An irbrush? Should I want an airbrush, its not for this guitar.. my other guitar maybe

airbrush??u got ya design?what pic u planning?
one more Question, i love metal song(MM, APC) & sometime play sentimental song(the Calling, Vertical horizon), if Ibanez Gio VS Squire Tele,
which is suitable?

Definitely the Ibanez..... Mainly because the Tele has a more twangish sound..... and also the Ibanez uses humbuckers which is more suited for the metal tone you want. And yes........ even sentimental songs you mentioned above would sound better with the humbuckers.

maybe no airbrush lah.. need to fork a lot of money for that alone. .. and I'll cry if the guitar suddenly knock to something and ruin the airbrush.. hahha.. better stay low with el-cheapo aerosol paint. If want background pic, just stick a sticker there and spray some lacquer, or cut my house curtain, stick it up on the body, and lacquer.. That a floral pattern (JEM77FP)

I can't give you advice on what guitar that will suit you as I havent tried both guitar. I just recently got this GIO. When I first got it, its not really in a fully working condition. I dont even know how gio plays like. How it sounds... And I'm not a tele fan either... I'm more into strat and super start guitar (but also have a lust for xiphos)

or u can smack in a seymour duncan hotrails in the bridge of the tele and u can still play both types of songs.

but what do u mean by VH1 scheme?

This is VH1 (a replica of Eddie Van Halen's black/white guitar)

WOW....Class....

might need to correct something here.. NO.. those axes are not mine.. I leeched those pics from internet. What i'm trying to say was, those are color scheme that I want for my project guitar.
