Author Topic: Guitar Re-build... so it begins (Read 3042 times)

Hi everyone, its been a while since I was last on here. But I'm still planning on the re-build.

I've stripped the former guitar, and thrown out all the gaff that I didnt want, pickups, neck, well everything but the body.

The body has been sanded down about 80% complete, just the troublesome bits left to do. i have finished the photoshop composite of the body, including the colour burst, a change from the nosebleed neon green that I was planning. Ignore the S+S+S pickup combo on the pic, i cant be arsed with getting my camera out.

Still planning for the Rebel Yell + Mother Milk x 2.

Any feedback on the idea, although its simple it is my first attempt, would be appreciated.

Do you want something like this? I think green bursts are very pretty.

Yeah, without the flame maple effect. I should have just borrowed a pic from the net, instead of killing an hour. Got a hint of yellow through it as well.

Pity you throw out the rubbish bits, I collect that sort of stuff for chopping around and experiments

Damn right :D

I like playing about with this type of stuff. Reshapped a dodgy neck to an asymmetrical one the other month. Just got to buy some resin for the CARBON FIBRE that will cover it <---- insert little headbanging emoticon here.

ok, a mini list of what I have avaialble, the neck I am going to reclaim and build my sis a guitar, but everything else is up for grabs.

pick guard - Strat White+Black+white
pickups 3 single coils - gone microphonic
2 x tone pots
1 x volume pot
1 x 5 way selector.
1 x jack plate - silver

Thats all i can think of at the mo. Barters welcome...

I'd be interseted in the pots and electrics, but if you're building an axe for your sis, I would hang onto them

scott_1985 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:27:37 PM »

Nah, going to be using some decent, unshagged kit for my sis guitar. But as for the electronics, i can post them up to you.
