Happy how alot of the labels are still visible under the pickguard. Trem cover is the same but will fit that during assembly and leave the protective paper on that.
Also thinking of using neck screw bushes and leaving the neck plate off.
Found these humbuckers in my stash, no idea where they are from but neck measured 11.6k resistance and bridge 11.8k, versus about 4.3k for the middle single stock PBG. Might have to replace the neck pup with a mini bucker.
Anyway will continue with the clear coats, some of the stickers aren't taking the clear too well, trying to get a nice thick glossy finish over the labels to smooth it all off,
I will also order some black vol/tone knobs and switch tip
G'day all, finished the build lastnight, sounds pretty good early days, I'll upload a sound demo sometime
few more pics
few more pics and a screenshot of a video in the green room.
Wish Gavmiester would remove Dorkers from the thread title !
Love the look of the guitar, i was going to do similar after working on a guitar and putting beer labels on the beer fridge, only i was going to cover the pickguard as well.
That clear guard is a ripper, nice job overall
cheers Tony, once again Pablo has cut me a cool pickguard and trem cover.
This is the first prototype and the 2 other ones I'm building have improved. Would be much easier to do this on a square edged body
Will be good to see the other prototypes.
I am also toying with the idea of using some of my photos, either as a montage or try and lay a whole picture on the guitar body.
Photography is one of my other hobbies, goes with metal detecting and homebrewing and music ;)
Nice Job Woks, would be a pain to try and get those labels flat. Would a resin style clear be thicker and even it out a bit?
Hey Tony (VH), cheers, yeah maybe I'll look into a resin to get a flat thick clear finish
Hey Woks love this guitar and tells me so much about your love of certain beverages lol. Great job have a fabulous Christmas.
cheers KB, I hope you and your family have a great xmas too.
Recorded a short demo of the axe lastnight, this video was the one with the least mistakes hahah

Hey Woks, where you going with that beer label in your hand? (to Hey Joe) Nice one Woks sounds like a real meaty rock axe

haha good one Ponch, cheers mate, can't beat HSH configuration on a strat
Great vid wokka
I'm thinking of collecting beer labels for a future project. I've been getting my beer from boozebud so I have a great variety of labels (some of which look awesome). Any tips for removing them?
@ Stan cheers mate
@ Maddog, yeah do it. I'm soaking the bottles in water for at least 3-4 hours, just fill an esky with water and submerge the bottles. You will find some bottles the labels are easy to remove and some use stronger glue and are a thinner label are harder to remove leave them to soak for a day or 2
Ah yes, I discovered this technique accidentally over the weekend when, sin of all sins, some beers were LEFT OVER in the esky and soaked in the molten ice...

Lookin good and sounds great. Just need to play it left handed with your teeth to get the full Hendrix vibe.
@Ponch that is a massive sin haha
@Waz. Working on playing with my teeth haha
Looks great. What a great idea. I love the clear pick guard too
idea for a future build: chrome beer labels :P
eg:

@ Ben cheers mate
@ Maddog, haha not a bad idea. As long as the beers with chrome labels is of a good quality.
