Hi Kick, as I said in your build diary that looks stunning. You should be proud of your efforts given the number of setbacks you encountered along the way.
The bar for this month's guitars has just risen to a higher level.
Cheers, Waz

Hi everybody,
i tried the EXA-1 Ash Explorer as my 2nd build with a guitarkit.
I truoiled Body and Neck as well as the headstock, filed the frets, dyed the fretboard black, made a new Decal out of Overheadfoil.
Changed the Pickups to P90 from Warmann (UK) and replaced the Knobs with wooden ones. Then i robbed my old LesPaul for the Rythm/Treble sign.
Had a loooooooot of fun while oiling and oiling and oiling and oiling....summed up to about 12 or 13 Layers of truoil...
Two more great additions to the comp.
This is already a tough month to judge. I like all of these entries.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
two more excellent entries well done Kick and SueBue. Love both builds you both made the most of some nice figure and some cool mods.
@ Kick love the backdrop of the rustic old equipment, works well !
