Verrry Nice. The colour is great!

I know you liked the superstrat color better, but man, that blue looks great with the pickguard and hardware on it. Sort of a Shelby Cobra vibe ;-)

thanx fellas, I'm Not really a blue guy so I did it the same way as I did the green Tele, its candy cobolt blue over dark blue metallic. Over a silver base its a lot lighter more towards a purple blue range, I was rustling around in my paint cupboard and had a 1/4 tin of dupli color blue so figured id see what it looks like, thats the great thing about candy's and pearl mica flake you can come up with so many great colours no one else has and guitars are the perfect partner for candys & pearl I quite like a well done white pearl,

I was trolling cashies web shop last weekend I've got 4 of them all no more than 4km from my house, they got a few les Paul's and a couple of squires and a couple of Ibanez, I want to have a look at everyone of them are black whats with buying boring black, I don't usually buy squires as the bodys are too skinny I like a thick fender body they all look like they need refurbishing and price is right ill go check them out I did ask them could they send me some pictures but my nets been down so only got them tonight so I might buy all of them


ok this 1 is a keeper I've put an Ibanez neck on it and I've moved the bridge down 5mm to get the scale length I've used a roller bridge, a purple pearl and what I did was put the last of my candy apple red in it to take it more towards the red side its actuallya a solid color not a tint, this isn't finished as I've run out of cutting paste and its more me goofing around I dropped a bit of hot solder on the back so this could get re done again as its 1 of my keepers so if its not a 100% it will bug me to death till I fix it, I haven't had any internet till 6 o'clock today been down for 3 days it was the NBN not my ISP as I'm on a Fibre line at 1000mbs I hate slow internet lol

I've got a Kramer neck and neck plate and some other bits and pieces i found tonight looking through my parts boxes I might do a EVH strat 1 of the black and white I'm a bit of an Ed fan, RIP Ed

Wow, I don't blame you for making that one a keeper.

I always look at your posts last. It's like dessert ;-)

Don't dismiss all Squiers as they are not created equal, I think you'll find the higher range ones have the correct body thickness, my CV Thinline certainly has a nice thick body and I know the Afinity range is, shall we say slim

yeah I know Dave their are some as good as a fenders but I'm no squire expert, I'm looking at 2 squires atm I'm looking for a Strat to put new pick ups in a HSH which is for myself, I've got a Tele, les Paul, super Strat, I'm buying another les Paul and another Strat to put some good stuff to, theirs a Squier Strat California Series and the other I'm not sure what it is but I'm going to go check them out on Tuesday or Wednesday it will be my main 24/7 guitar so I looking for a full size 1, every time I play a Strat it feels right if that doesn't sound silly I've been looking at 1 of those artist Strat that Peter Northcote demos which sound really good also, I'm not 1 of those snobs who think you got to get an American I think anyone from anywhere can build a guitar, the best guitar I ever played was a LTD FM650 the worse 1 was a tobacco 2001 Gibson Les Paul it cost me $4500 new I've not come across anything i liked as much

@fender lol

hey folks I went and checked out the 2 squires 1 I think was a very old bullet with those cheap machine heads and the california was a full size but they wanted way to much for it wasn't worth my time, while I was there I thought I would see what else they have they had 2 Les Pauls a black one and a white 1 the black one had some body swell and the white had a bad scratch on the back but every other thing was mint so I went on a shopping spree, I grabbed the 2 Les Pauls which will be keepers as have some big plans for them both, they also had a full size Strat which was in great shape but it was white pearl but the 2k clear on it was very yellow I've popped a couple of pics you can see the yellowing where the pic guard was so I've got some white pearl so I might keep it white its a keeper and the blue 1 will be a give away.

once I finished looking their I figured id go to another cashies I have 4 with in 4km from my house I picked up a amp head and a 412 cab its a Behringer V-Ampire Lx1200h 2x60watt stereo or 120watt mono they have 2 amps built in, I've heard good things about them and was mint condition and under 400 bucks, another I picked up on line a Line 6 Amplifi-Tt Amp Multi Effects desk top processor I was checking them out on ebay but $300-$500 is what their asking use to have 1 but sold it when I got sick, while trolling cashies online shop they had 1 reduced $279 to $79.99 and broardmedows in NSW near newcastle i think so I jump on it cost me $26 for express postage which unit arrived today and its in as new condition so I've just got 1 more guitar to find an ESP LTD FM650 won't be easy me thinks









heres the whit 1 with that needs fixing

[phrozin]

been busy today have the new Strat in candy apple green but I only put 3 coats on it where Tele I did 6 my thinking a brighter green will look better with new white pearl HSH pick guard once I clear it

[phrozin]

finished all cleared just wait a couple of days then ill polish it, I've striped the black les paul I'm just going to try sand out the bad spots and just touch up the black then ill re clear it with 2k I have 2 HSH Pick guard in white pearl and tortuous shell, and got a heap of SSS pick guards im thinking either the white pearl or antique off white or black for those interested everything has been done with supercheap rattle cans primer, silver, clear and green done by spray gun

[fender3x]

Amazing what you can get out of a rattle can. I haven't seen "Supercheap" here in the US...and I've not had good luck with Duplicolor, which is what I can get.
