Post by Hurb »

A bit bored yesterday, so I managed to strip, paint, buff, apply decal, and put new tuners on and string up within the day.
So yes I rushed it, but I wasn't fussed about it being perfect as the body already has bumps and knocks. And I don't want the guitar out of commission for long.
The decal I got send from more cowbell an age ago, he just sent it for free! what a guy. So thanks mate. the decal is a bit stealth on the black. most the time you can't see it haha.
I also pulled most the wiring out and kept it simple, pickups to selector switch, then to volume, then to kill switch, jack. nice for when I am rocking and don't want complications.

crap pics.
