Post by dawnofzion »

I got all the parts in today to finish the build. Gonna start wetsanding the body and polishing in the next 2 or 3 days. Finally getting somewhat close to the end.

I also have been working on the Lame-o-Caster...here is the headstock in the works for it.

or am i incorrect?

I photoshoped it to see what the logo would look like before I made it.

Yeah baby. Take today off and finish it. I am hoping to do some shit to the little Rickenbacker this afternoon. It's almost ready to seal.

ok the hyper-sonic is done! finally! here are some pics. it sounds great, but needs a little more tweaking on the frets. There are a couple that need a little more levelling. but I am really happy with how it all came out for my very first scratch build.

You do great work. I like the mods and thinking outside the box. I also like the mismatched/matching pickups. That works for me.

that is the best build i have seen around here in a long time.
what is the radius on the fretboard?
im diggin the whole thing, oly white mint guard, tinted neck, cream and blakc pups even look good on that thing, if it were midn i would not change a thing on it!
its awsome!
very good job!
