Gday All. The plan for this one is to keep it PBG stock at this stage.I mite just swap out the speed knobs for others but thats it. The neck will be left natural with black head-stock face and the body butter-scotch with gold highlites. Ive ordered some aged tint but have none-aged leftover from previous build. Im not to sure there.I will see how bold/deep the butter-scotch comes out. Good to have options. Ive gone for a Maton-ese head-stock.The neck is ready to go and Ive just gave the body a quick rub with 120grit.. Cheers

Glenn - you never know - he might be building in the US... :)

Cool Jase! I am also considering your exact model/colour combo - that butterscotch mix of DB's looks sweet, and it's the perfect match for the Jnr. Should come out a treat.
cheers,
Gavin.
-
I really love the P90 pick ups Gavin. Once I saw the example of the butter scotch I was sold. I was very tempted to go with the single but the double being a little diffrent won out. Just. Cheers.
-
Yeah I personally prefer the double. Looks less like a mini LP wanna-be IMO and becomes something much, much more. Good luck with the build. Once you hit it out of the park I can get on and order mine ;) ;).
cheers,
Gavin.
-
Have I missed something. Whats up side down???
-
The first two photos Jase!
-
I don't see them upside down. You had me stumped too. Lol
-
im thinking the first song you play on this guitar should be something from Soundgardens Down on the Upside album
-
The pictures I see are correct way. Im not sure whats going om there.
-
Some platforms/browsers may show images in different orientations based on the 'Orientation Tag' in the EXIF data embedded in the image, while other platforms ignore it completely. For example, an image may appear the 'right way up' on an iPad (because of the orientation tag) but appear upside down using Firefox on a laptop. It depends on what camera/platform was used to take the image, how that platform stored the image, and what platform/browser/App is then used to view the image.
It's another case of not everyone doing things the same way.
-
well explained Scott, the 1st 2 photo thumbnails appear upside down on my browser but are the correct orientation when I click on the image and it enlarges.
Jase this axe should look sweet in butterscotch
Hope you are sanding the body higher grit than 120 ?
-
I used the 120 as there was a few machine markings.Its about90%finished on the 180grit and is coming up a treat.
-
Thanks for the explaination on the photos.
-
After what seemed forever I finally finished sanding and now the fun bit of getting some color onto the DC Jnr. Very happy with the 1st base coat. Cant wait to 2nd+3rd coats over the long weekend.I hope the photos work.

Wow, looking great! That butterscotch is the business. This going to be a very sweet build!
Can you post a picture with each coat??
cheers,
Gavin.
-
No problems Gavin. I was planning to get another coat today if not Sunday. More snaps on the way after that. Cheers!
-
-
I cant explain how happy I am with choosing Butter-scotch for this build. Im not sure if you can pick up in the photos but the second base coat has filled out great and Im sure after a few more coats it will look even better. Sorry if photos are upside down ????

upside down Miss Jane .... (for those who remember Mr Squiggle...)
looks great though Jase
-
Wow! That butterscotch is beautiful. I'm sold.
It's the perfect colour for this kit too. Great choice Jase.
cheers,
Gavin.

No progress on the body. It will get its 4th and probably last coat on Friday. Ive gone with my original plan for the neck of clear coat with a black head-stock face.Thats had the 1 clear coat with another planned also for Friday. Cheers!

great progress, but I'm dizzy from looking at the upside down pics. Great work though
-
I got the 4th and last color coat on and have decided against the gold high-lites. With the planned aged top coat on the body I thought it mite get lost so instead have chosen to put the gold high-lites on the neck. You cant pick it up on the photos but she sparkles and Im really happy with the result. Im planning to get some top coats on both neck/body early in the week. I hope the photos are the correct way??? Cheers!!!

Hey Jase, it's looking great mate, agree the Butterscotch was a great choice. This is one of my favourite kits... elegant simplicity.
-
the butterscotch looks awesum Jase.
oh to quote a pencilled nose puppet
"upside down Miss Jane"
-
looks good enough to eat, Jase

Gday all. I thought that the build was nearing completion until this morning when I thought Id just give it a quik mock up. It was the first since I mocked it up strait out of the box.I couldnt dream of this colour being any better so when I placed all the hardware on,chrome+black,it just didnt look rite. SO ....Im going for all black hardware,which should be here in a few weeks. At least that gives the wudtone good curing time. At the moment the body has 3coats of aged topcoat. The neck has 2 clear coats,gold tints,then another 2 coats of clear. Both are getting another coat on Sunday and maybe 1 more mid-week. Cheers! P.S I hope the photos are the rite way this time. I tried to capture the gold hilites on the neck and the butter-scotch in the daylite and inside.

Upside down again Jase. Looking really nice though.
Can see that black hardware would look sweet.
Well worth doing, you will be much happier with the finished product.
Nothing worse than when its finished saying "I wish I had....."
-
Sorry bout the photos. Not to sure what to do next. Im not too cluey with computers but Im open to suggestions and hopefully Ill understand it. Sorry again.
-
Ive done all I can till the extras arrive, hopefully this week. A few black bits and pieces and then plug it in to see how it sounds. I could not be happier with how it has and will turn out. Cheers!

I was a little nervous as all the holes were drilled for PBG wardware but all parts sliiped srait on. Phew!!Now to find time to finish DC Jnr off,plug in, have fun. Cheers!!
