Looking nice and shiny!

Thanks, it's hard being patient lol

Rough fit together, the cavities for the humbuckers were a little small width wise, I opened them up with a dremel tool





Primed the body, found a couple areas that needed wood puttied, sanded...waiting for a warm day before second priming


I protected the binding with frog tape


As it progresses, I'll add more.

What color are you going with Kel.. good to see someone close by on here.. Go Steelers!!!! I'm in WV

[kel1985]

And go Penguins!!!
I'm thinking a dark gunmetal gray slight metallic flake, going with a tortoise shell pickguard...looking for a color similar to the D'Angelico Premier
Looking for a similar color, but not quite the same as this, a lighter shade of gray

oooooh! nice choice!

[kel1985]

Thanks! I was going to go with a flake purple (like my Ibanez), but saw that and had to have it!

I really like that D'Angelico colour. I've wanted one since they released that colour combo!

I have a local autobody shop that will mix custom colors (for a fee). I figure that'll get me close enough lol.
