Dedmans build 4 ES5-V

[Dedman]

yea, sounding good, the mini humbucker is a long way under the strings so that's why it's quiet

[Dedman]

made some "factory" stickers to go inside the body...currently soaking in tea to age them

cool logos Dedman, so you soak them in tea leaves give it an aged brown tinge ? You have some cool tricks up your sleeve.

[Dedman]

yea I just printed them on ordinary copy paper, I'll use some diluted Aquadhere to glue them in.
We used to dye paper with tea when we kids to make pirate maps and such LOL. Lemon juice then iron it works too

cool, nice tips there Dedman to get the aged look you are after.

[DrNomis_44]

That's a cool trick Dedman, must try that one day.


Which reminds me, I'll need to get together some stuff to make a headstock logo for my Gold Strat, but I'll wait till it's up and running first though.

heres how the labels dried out


and almost finished. I just need to confirm where the front strap post attaches. on the semi's it goes on the heel of the neck but thats a bit awkward on a fatty like this . Should it go on the body just behind the neck?

covered in finger prints and dust, I had to pack up quickly as storm clouds were moving in


Some number plates on the wall there Wokka

wow that looks sweet as Dedman, those labels look nicely aged and the gold strings and gold hardware really suit the dark green/black burst. Another super cool build Dedman.
Nice numberplate collection and love your Triumph looks like real fun to ride !
