Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Well, the EX build is officially stuffed.
I don’t know how many black stump attempts this is, but it obviously doesn’t like me.
I have tried every technique suggested, and replicated this on the TL-TH and the IB Freebie and they have worked out okay, but the EX well, it’s just been contrary the whole time. Despite my best efforts, I have ended up with a roughened texture and some odd crazing. (I will post pictures in the morning, when the light is better for photos). There are areas that look okay head on, but under varied light angles, it looks crap.
I got the irritating with it this evening and basically said “F” it, put it together and cranked it up, it makes an agreeable noise, unless you are my neighbours. The EMG 81/85 Zak Wykde set is great, crisp, clear and angry, but I look at the finish and I want to weep.
I think I will tinker with it to adjust those things that need adjusting (Nut, Action, get the V and T pots around the right way, adjust the front PUP surround for fit) and at some stage work up the gumption to attempt a refinish. But not just now, I can’t face it and I have other things to finish.
