ES-2V

[gavinturner]

Here is my ES-2V, finished in Cherry ColorTone dye and Tru-oil. I've changed just about everything on this beauty with new components and all gold-hardware:

Wilkinson Gold EZI-lock Tuners
GFS Dream 180 Humbuckers
Gold pickup surrounds
Gold ABR-1 tune-o-matic bridge
Gold 335-style trapeze tailpiece
Gold strap studs.
Gold oval jack plate
CTS pots,
Orange Drop caps,
Vintage shielded cloth covered wire,
Switchcraft 3-way and output jack.
DIY custom truss-rod cover
DIY bone nut

I have also swapped out all the electronics, wiring her using a 50s vintage wiring scheme with the independent volume mod.


cheers,
Gav.

WOW! That's the exact colour I've been looking for!

Could you please PLEASE give us a tutorial on how you achieved that tobacco burst? I've found Carmine Gypsy and Black Magic Woman on the Wudtone site, but I have no idea how to even start.

And what do you mean by "mix with BMW burst"?
