looks killer Barge, can't wait to see how it looks with some ni...nit....nitr..... nah can't say it hahhaha
Hopefully once the satin clear goes on it's gonna tone down the glare and really make that grain pop.
sure it will Barge.
That double white stripe looks killer. You definitely have great ideas that are original
Ahhh sorry to let you down Wokks, I can't really take credit for that little feature. But you're right, it does look killer.Quote:

I think it's horses for courses Wokks. Obviously traditional binding just wouldn't work on this body, whereas say a flat Tele body, I wouldn't even consider faux binding. They're probably both equally as tricky in their own ways I'd say.Quote:

In fact it's no so much faux binding as a panted highlight.
Super nice axe mate
Hey cheers Stan. I'd have to agree with that. it's as much a big pinstripe as it is binding.Quote:

HSH config?
By in large Stan, just a little bit of re-shaping to the southern end of the tummy cut to get it to flow with the top.Quote:

Shot a few more clear coats today. About 5 thin ones in total and I'm probably gonna leave the top at that. I'll do a couple more on the back/sides after a wet sand and get things nice and smooth and that will be that.
Reshaped the pickguard tonight and did a test fit with a few shiny bits.
Very nice indeed, that would put a horn on a jellyfish
Holy crap!! that is sweet. turning into one of the best builds I've seen on here. Love the contours.
that is awesome Barge!
Shame that crappy neck lets it down ;)
Note to self, dont bother entering next GOTM....
Stunning Bargey, just stunning.
cheers,
Gav.
Hey thanks for the feedback @dave@tony@stan@gav, it's really appreciated.
You know it took me fricken ages to build that scratchy neck and get it to look just like treated pinewood decking Stan. Sheesh, I guess you can't please everyone:P
Choice as bro. This will be a fully sick build if you sort out that crappy neck cuz haha
That neck is perfect.....
For a t-rex.... :rolleyes:
looking so sweet, you get the best out of the stock kits everytime
Haters gonna hate. GOTM here I come.
Speed hole!
That faux binding looks killer. The body shaping too. Far Kimmy. Lifting my game for my next build.
That's for the notes you don't wanna play, they just fall down the hole. Good for losing picks down too;-)Quote:

the name on the plate looks wicked bro.
Looks like it's been engraved.
So thats a vinyl logo wow wouldn't have thought
Yeah, just picked the letters out the middle so you're just left with the inverse design, stuck her down, and blastos. I guess it almost is a form of engraving. Came out neat.Quote:
