This is pretty punk, innit?

So, basically this is a swamp ash Tele Deluxe from Warmoth, with a counterfeit (or MIJ, I dunno) Fender Strat neck that I found in a bin. The pickup is of course the very lovely Alnico War Pig. I love this thing to death, to put it mildly.
-
I like it.
-
Yeah that's well cool.
-
I would love it with a different scratchplate. :(
-
I wouldn't be "brave" enough to use a completely unfinished body like that, and I hate seeing gaffer tape on a guitar (I'm just too.... fussy, I suppose!)
But I like the basic concept.
-
haha. neck found in a bin and raw ash wood. perfect story for a brutal guitar!
-
The body is *slightly* finished. I did use some floor oil on it :P
-
With the tape of, not bad at all. I like it.
-
somebodies gonna get git with that at some point!
Looks ace mate
-
Yeah, very nice.
Is it a "brutal" guitar? How versatile is a WP in a single pup guitar? Can it "crunch" as well as "djent", of you know what I mean?
-
Yeah, very nice.

If this guitar ever "djents" it will be over my dead body.
That said, the WP cleans up very nicely indeed, but of course it's main strength is that signature roar it has. The stuff I play currently is more of a "wall of sound" thing than the staccato stuff normally found in modern metal, and it does that extremely well!
-
I like it a lot :)
-
Cool and functional... I like it. It reminds me of my own super T with the natural body an the cool wood grain. Nice one.
-
Yeah, I like it too. Mostly because you saved that poor neck from destruction, but it does look pretty sweet. I'd dirty that thing up for another year and then rub a few coats of Tru-oil or Danish Oil on it to lock in the funk and protect the wood.

That's actually a damned good idea! I'm gonna have to steal it.
-
its one of the best playing guitars i have ever played.
-
yeah, pretty good for a neck found in a bargain bin, eh? :lol:
-
:twisted:
like the philosophy here!

Steal away, dude! I hope it works out for your "bin-tage" guitar. awwww. That was bad. Really shouldn't hit the post button. Oh well.
-
Bin-tage... I actually quite like that!
-
I hate how the Gaffa tape glue makes everything sticky. Tape = Uncool. Rest = Cool!
-
I normally hate teles
But
Approved.
It looks like its supposed to be $%&#ing played.
-
That was actually the whole idea of it, yeah. I originally intended it as some sort of beater/backup guitar, for my band Hexis, but incidentally it ended up becoming my main squeeze after I'd gotten the neck properly adjusted :lol:

Pwned! :oops: :lol:
I actually like the look of that one. But is it all gunky and sticky, or is there some kind of clear finish over the top?
-
I remember that one. It's the Offspring guitarist's sig model yeah? I didn't think it was actual tape, but a screen print or something like that. Might be real tape and finished over, but I don't know how well that would go.
Speaking of neat textures on guitars. Newspaper with a poly coat on top. :D

Seriously thick coating of lacquer. It's faired better than the other one I have, that was starting to look a bit scruffy and was peeling in places. That one got stripped and oiled.

Yup that's the puppy and it is indeed real tape stuck to the body, then sprayed over with paint, wiped off, then lacquered. It's an absolute bitch to get off. Great playing thing, but lousy electronics and tuners. I replaced all them and now they're brilliant. Not the most resonant things ever, but great very cheap fun.
-
Forgot I had this in the garage. Easy duct tape refin. :lol:
