ST1-M Mashup "Fang"

[FrankenWashie]

I'm with you on the recessed control covers. This was the first ever effort I had with guitar body building in my teens, the only disappointments i had with it were some dubious shaping (See the variable fit gap, and the fact that the remnants i made it from were not big enough to allow for the centre laminate line to match up to the body.


Edit: this was my original FrankenWashie, (Washburn MG42 Neck with ibanez soloist style custom body) which is currently being pulled apart to have some of the more glaringly obvious fit and set up issues addressed.

@ Mick what's the trem cover timber ? looks great recessed

@ Franken, looks cool but an odd shape cover as you say

Cheers man, yeah it's just some 0.5mm European maple... it actually matches the tone of the basswood pretty well

Damn man that looks tidy!
nice work

@Wokkaboy, the controls are the little section at bottom left, the bulk of the cover is the rear entry of the PUPs. At the time I didn't want to have two covers, in retrospect it probably would have been easier to do it as separate pieces.

@Zeromick, cheers bud! Look forward to seeing your progress.

Fang got some colour today

also shot some poly on the neck so im slowly creeping along on the build.

Mick you love torturing the forum - shot colour on the axe and the pic is in black and white !

[zeromick]

That's not the first time I've been called a tease hahaha

[Swanny]

Well we can see it's a solid colour, and it's not black, nor white. It's a mystery mid-tone colour!

[keloooe]

Well, that makes two colours off the list..... So if we simplify it to just RGB based values for colour then we have another odd 16,799,998 to go!
