Lets start with a laugh... DB builds an Explorer..

[dingobass]

Yep, thats right.
DB builds an Explorer...

This kit was a present from The Minister for War and Finance to her Nephew.

So far it has travelled around the world... Literally.

Now it has made it's way to the Man Cave for construction..

Anyhoo, I will take you through the whole process and answer any questions that you may have.

[keloooe]

What madness got you to that DB? Hang on, why is there a guitar case lying in my house...... I thought the Frankenpester's case was in the garage!!! :D

[dingobass]

Cheeky blighter :)

[keloooe]

Nothing cheeky about me DB, nothing at all!!!
Doesn't matter anyway, that thing is a lefty.... Also do I spot black frets or the "DB treatment"? I was actually surprised to see some frets on the Frankenpester!

[GeneralKaos]

Nothing wrong with an explorer....super cool!

[dingobass]

OK, to bring you up to speed.

I cant help myself.. I see a few dings and frets not seated and I have to do the whole de fret, level and re fret thang.

Will post progress pics.

[Brendan]

Yeah - but does it djent?

[GeneralKaos]

No, but it looks like you have to play it with the wrong hands........

[Nickosaurus]

DB the whole guitar is backwards!

[keloooe]

DB the whole guitar is backwards!

I think DB was building with a mirror in his eyes....

[dingobass]

Hey Guys,

Can we take the chat to the 1000 lounge please? :)

[wokkaboy]

Only if there is cold beer on tap DB?

[dingobass]

Update time..

Here she is, 3 Outback Sunset stain coats with Nitro.... Yep, Nitro..
Should be nice and shiny when polished up.

[stan]

looks superb DB.
I 'm a leftie so send it here, I will forgive you the adventure to B land and the nitro.

Black hardware?

[keloooe]

Did I just hear Nitro? mind = blown
Well, I'll see you in the Naughty Warehouse DB! It actually looks quite good for the finish!

[wokkaboy]

haha yes I saw this build in the flesh Friday and the outback sunset looks unreal. I did see the nitro in his cupboard so I think DB has to spend some time in the naughty warehouse for the green shed visit on the same day !

[dingobass]

looks superb DB.
I 'm a leftie so send it here, I will forgive you the adventure to B land and the nitro.

Black hardware?

Hmmmmm.... Black would look sweet on this..

[keloooe]

Hmmmmm.... Black would look sweet on this..

It would indeed!

[bargeloobs]

Wow that finish is butter!! I'd have to agree with the black bits, it would look the business. You're not going to ruin that beautiful finish with a pickguard are ya?

[pablopepper]

Pickguard? The dingobass trifecta would be complete. End times are upon us.

[Nickosaurus]

Oh dear :p

[dingobass]

And here she is... Just need to wire up, intonate and done!

Finish is three thin coats of Nitro over Dingotone Outback Sunset.

[wokkaboy]

Looks excellent DB. Must be that awesome nitro finish haha
Spewing won't be able to have a strum being a lefty

[keloooe]

Looks great DB!

[BenWA]

wonderful finish

[stan]

looks just the thing DB, shall I send you my address, it is my birthday soon...

[dingobass]

Funny guy, Stan :)

Surely you wouldnt want to deprive an eleven year old boy of his axe, would you? :p

[steve.timmons238]

[jarrod]

[dingobass]

Jarrod. Over. My. Dead. Body. :)
