Bargeloob's ST-1M

[bargeloobs]

I think that was 3 stain coats Barge, was a few months ago I did them. Just got to be patient so do some work on the neck maybe or finish the chook shed haha.
Love the neck plate reshaping.
Looks like we will be spending alot more time together in the naughty room, now you got 4 x life and I got reduced to 2 x life haha.
I'm catching up with DB soon to help move some avaires so I'll make sure there's plenty of beer on tap !

Hahaha, nice.

Luckily I sold a guitar yesterday, so I might be able to get another kit to keep me occupied while this one dries out:-)

Lovin the flame and the shape Barge especially the neck attachment.

Hey cheers Tony, it was a bit of a stab in the dark this build but luckily it seems to be working out:-)

I couldn't help myself...

This is a really fantastic make-over of an ST-1 and I'm keen to see it hit the finish line.
To me the look is sorta vaguely Rickenbackerish?
Q: Have chooks & aviaries had any influence on the "birdhead" stock? (which I love BTW)

Thanks @ DrNomis, Tony, Maxy

There was no conscious effort or influence that gave it that "birdlike" appearance Maxy, but the similarities weren't lost on me, even when doing the "Bladecatcher" headstock it kind of reminded me of a vulture head.
As you can see in the pic it's pretty much exactly the same as the last one.

Looking truly amazing Bargey. The angles of the body are great and the headstock matches perfectly. The flame maple veneer is going to look spectacuar once a bit of stain soaks in to it! Amazing job.

cheers,
Gav.

the build looks very cool with the mock build Barge, hopefully you can get another stain coat on soon, the wait must be killing you !
Myself and 4D mate Wayne cut a new shape yesterday with the ST-1M body and got a coat of primer on, its fairly different to your shape, what you reckon ? Plan is metallic blue paint on this with maybe a white southern cross painted on it.
We're probably going to change the 4D logo to this shape as well to keep it original
