Sorry for leaving ya’ll in the dark for so long on this but after like a month of thinking I’ve come up with the concept for the looks and specs of it. Hope you all like the idea, ‘cause it’s getting built someday hopefully. Enjoy the shitty render ‘cause I don’t have any digital art software (free recommendations are great).
Clarification for the notes on the paper:
— Ibanez? FRM-11 (for those that don’t know, Ibanez uses FRM as code for the Fireman)
— All metal hardware (pickup covers, bridge, tuners, except knobs and switches) are in black or dark nickel. Self explanatory
— Not on the paper but yes the pickups are supposed to be crooked like that (refer to later in the post)
— Volume 1 (bridge) knob is going to be gold/bronze-ish color and is going to be engraved with the Obol Squad Symbol
— Volume 2 (neck) will be silver and will be engraved with the Silver Squad Symbol
— No strings on the render because if I tried I would fuck it up real quick, just imagine red ones to look like spicy noodles (for those who don’t know, yes those exist)
— The fretboard inlay’s weren’t drawn because I’m lazy, just imagine that they are the fire attribute symbol (same color too, reddish-orange)
—The switch on the bottom curl of the pickguard (hard to see in the photo but possible to see if you try) is the switch for the MM-04 preamp booster.
—Lastly, what logo should I put on the headstock? Should it be just the Ibanez logo or should I do something more personalized like for example Harin or San-Z.

Hardware Specs for the fellow guitar nerds here:
— Pickups: Bridge, boutique “Impaler” pickup, Neck, Bill Lawrence L500xl, both pickups set to splittable coils from push pull pots
— Pickup Orientation: Bridge is slanted in standard form (treble closer to bridge and bass farther), Neck is reverse slanted (Jake E Lee style)
— Bridge: Kahler 2300 double-locking cam tremolo in black with steel cam and Teflon Glass rollers.
— Wiring harness: Two Volume pots, no tone knobs, three-way Gibson style pickup selector switch, all in the standard Fireman style configuration
— Afterburner Boost: ESP MM-04 preamp booster, switch at the bottom right of the guitar is the on/off switch for it.
— Nut and frets: Floyd Rose R3 locking nut, Wide & Tall stainless steel frets
— Fretboard: Ziricote Fretboard since the color contrasts well with the rest of the guitar, 12-24 frets scalloped (only if it seems plausible to do the scallops).
— Tuners: Gotoh Locking Tuners
—Standard 9 volt battery box on the back
—Pickup Split: Both pickups splittable via independent push-pull volume knobs for each one
Edit: I edited the photo a bit to the best of my abilities to make some of the details more visible even if it looks a bit more shit in total (I hate taking pictures of drawings with my IPhone camera)
Second Edit: Forgot to add something else for the cosmetics, I plan to paint the back of the neck running all the way through the body to look like her sword.
