Here is my entry for October GOTM.
The kit is a ES-1G with a few additions.
The colour is a custom mix of Azure Lagoon and Dark Onyx to darken it up. The darker Wudtone seems to bring out an almost metallic look to the Maple cap and It also changes colour depending on the light and the angle you look at it. To add to the depth of the colour the guitar was given a few coats of Axe Wax and buffed to a shine. Couldn't be happier.
Upgrades to the kit are as follows;
- Tonerider P90 pickups in a Humbucker case
- Nickel surrounds
- Switchcraft 3 way switch and jack
- CTS audio taper pots all round
- Black Bee Oil-in-Paper tone caps
- 3 ply pick guard and ES335 pick guard bracket
- Tusq nut
- Shielded "vintage" wiring
- Set of D'Addario Jazz "Light" strings
How does it sound? Smooth as silk...

Beautiful job - I'm with Adam on this one!

Brilliant work Highace. Looks top notch.
How Do you like those Rebel 90's? I have a set on my bench waiting to go in a Tele deluxe Ive just started. I'm also considering getting another set to put in my Epiphone 335.
-
wow Highace, sensational work, glad I'm not entering October GOTM, well worthy winner already !
-
Ill start a thread over in the "My Build" section and we can chat about those pickups :-)
-
Awesome job highace, that's a sensational 335!
Cheers,
Gavin.

You'll have to share how the glamour shots are done! Though I suspect it's a lot of work / practice...
-

Here's my one: ST-1 with the maple neck.
My first build, and first electric guitar (I play classical) - and it was a heap of fun.
Couldn't decide on a logo for the headstock, so left it vanilla for now.
I'm impressed by the wudtone, it's marvelous stuff.
Finished in blue lagoon - silver highlights - extra gloss with ageing.
Weirdly, it was a nice shade of blue until I started applying the top coat. Each coat of the extra gloss made it greener and greener until it ended up a 'green lagoon'. No complaints though, it lookes super.
Now to figger out how to upload the pics...

Hey fullas awesome guitars in this months comp,
This is my entry for the oct comp, its an ST-1 with my own custom Maori designs on it, i have incorporated the mangopare (hammer head shark) and a manaia head,
The mangopare (hammerhead shark) is a symbol of strength & courage, tenacity of life, determination, vigor and wealth.
The manaia acts as a messenger between the earthly and spiritual worlds, It is the holder of great spiritual energy and is a guardian against evil and a protector over land, sea, and sky.
The color i have used is walnut with a true oil finish, with the designs cut out to show the natural look of the bass wood body with the outer part of the design carved to show a 2 tone look.
The top part of the headstock and the back of the neck is also stained walnut, with paua on the 3 pick ups and a double koru (spiral) bone carving inlayed into the headstock.

Mad work - fantastic carving - amazing detail! Great job!
-
Amazing carving work Marcus.
-
Marcus, I just wet my pants......
-
Highace, that is just stunning...
-
Hi Roger,
The ageing tint is what made the blue turn green..
Now that I have seen what happens I can advise future customers not to use ageing top coat with Azure Lagoon...
Still, it is a beautifully finished and built guitar.
-
Wow Marcus that carved guitar is astonishing, to me winner is between that and the ES-1 without a doubt
