game on!!!!!

im very curious about those p rails.

P-Rails sounds fucking fantastic. I love them. I almost got an ESP PB-500 on impulse because I picked it up at the store one day and played it for over an hour. (It's got dual P-Rails in it, obviously) Sadly I've yet to get it... I can't afford that kind of impulse buy.

But yeah, they're incredibly versatile pickups and they sound simply awesome.

i haven't heard them, but if all else fails, i'll sell them to a likely lad here on the cheaps and pop in some PAF stuff =/

whats a good method for re-finishing
as in prime, paint, clearcoat, ect

You'll like them

STUFF TO ARRIVE TODAY, EXCITE!

pics, or rex golliath will break youre knee caps.

where to put the switches???



pot shafts are too big for all of my knobs

and wtf one of the switches doesn't have any washers or anything!!!

very upsetting, dimarzio says ship it back and we'll get you a new one, very nice of them, but it will cost me the same in shipping both ways it would to get a new one

...That was such a cool color before

Anyway, I'd probably put the switches in a line between the knobs... For aesthetics, and as they'd seem too bunched up in the configuration you show them in... Plus it could be logical, in a front/back way. Don't be afraid to hog out the wood for the potshafts, and there must be a hardware store where you can purchase washers/nuts?

P-rails are a really cool concept, but one that would be an ultimately useless proposition to me... Have fun!

started priming today
white it is though
will post pics sometime

fuck yeah.

i amost got one of these to a first gutiar but i picked some ibanez instead. wtf?

add 2 switchs to do

Split-Series-Paralell



will make double the potential of styles that thing can do .


Colour i Vote Red apple Candy , TriCoat.
Actual i had used one time , at my Old Motorcycle
it´s called DuPont Duxone , it´s a DuPont Compact Tricoat Paint (3 in 1 ) One Coat only do the effect 3 Coats ( Silver , Red , Metalic ) .

more simple than do 3 coats and get risk make wrong and had to do all over again
normal Tricoat are hard.
the DuPont Duxone i loved , when i crashed my old motorcycle on accident i had nightmare to find way to paint she and someone talked about that paint brand and it´s saved my ass , did mimic well the original paint you don´t see the difference.
it´s is a Tricoat paint on Normal Paint pack , amazing.
and it´s so easy to apply. yet need Equipment to apply that´s the Con. , them before you do the coat´s you just need finish and done.

Red apple candy are that.




red apple looks amazing at sun.

will look gorgeous on that guitar for sure.

there goes icy w/ his icybombs...
i got all the paint today actually, but CAR has always been a beaut to me, but the original model of this came w/ an option for a car type colour and it didn't attract me too much, red w/ buckers seems 80s and wank at first glance

got paint today, 1st coat of primer on back and headstock
as its my first paint job this is just practice at the moment



i just love the tele headstock shape


front still looks like this


needs more sanding / taping off before i do the full guitar

What final color are you going with?

i've got a can of white i want to see on it, but if i don't like it i want to look into a gold-top/whole body thing
or a lexus pearl white

photobucket is being a twat, but sanded the first coat of primer, thew on another [with the neck properly taped] and it's sitting in the attic to dry

due to not having a place to hang it, i only primed the neck, will go back and do the body when it's dry

There she waits




comtemplating a black head stock...
