Ehh, getting closer. Havent done the clearcoats and buffing yet.
Going with stock pickup for now, we'll see how it does. Sometimes I find that generics are hot enough and its just a matter of goosing it correctly at the EQ - really good example, Ive got two Epi G-310s at the house, one has stock pickups and the other has two Invaders. Its very difficult to tell which is which when they're directly plugged into the amp - you dont hear a real difference until I run thru my pedalboard.
Oh, I should point out that after oiling the fretboard... it fucking absorbed it like a sponge. Apparently that was what it needed, ha. Its all dark and proper looking/feeling now. Well. if I do another kit, have to remember to do that
Nice progress the yellow really suits this style

This was just me checking on the neck pocket (the problem was that there was a slight hump on one side to sand down), but you can see the Wino-Piss-ness of it all.
And a fine Wino-yellow it is. A good job you didn't paint it red, or it wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes after beaming down to the planet.
My attempted touchup on the wedge didn't go well. The brush strokes are too obvious under the light. Well, once it dries fully, I'll cut a piece of stencil again and try to fix that. ARRRGH!
It will Dilute (pun intended) when you add Hardware and a Pickguard...Originally Posted by Rev

(I still reckon that Headstock looks Like Bart Simpson's Head. Especially the "Haircut" .(just needs some big Eyes).....
Don't take any notice of me.....Guitar is looking Good.....
