An ES-5V entry from Steve in Tassie.

"First layer on both the body and neck were the colour coat butterscotch, which had been prepared as a special custom colour, this was just prior to it being added to the standard range.

For the next two coats on the body I added a fair bit of white tint whereas the neck was merely two more of undiluted colour coat.
Then both neck and body had a final coat.

the first two coats were lightly sanded, from then on I used the micro mesh range 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000, and 12000"



(Apologies for the fuzzy headstock shot; Steve did not include one so I've tried to enlarge the first shot)

Wow Fuzzy, look at that grain! the burst is great too! awesome effort mate.

Also, you have green grass in Chinchilla! equally impressed

[Fuzzbeard]

Thanks Andy, the grass is green because lucky for us when cyclone Debbie blew through we just got a good drenching and that patch of lawn hasn't faced the destructive force of our dogs

This is my first guitar. TL-1 Kit, Hand carved 3D Redback Spider and carved headstock with Pyrography finish and web on the back.
Schaller tuners, Camel bone nut, Lipstick humbucker in neck position, Babicz full contact bridge and Tone rider single coil pickup, Spider neck plate from Texas, Stirling silver spider knobs from Canada and Guitar sauce vintage wiring kit.
I think thats everything, hope the pictures came up ok.
I finished the spider and the headstock in clear Gloss with the rest of the guitar is natural timber in Satin to help make the big girl stand out.

Just had an opportunity to see this ax up close and do a little work on it, gotta say the carving of the top is amazing...must have taken hours! More patience than me I'm afraid, well done Gee-gal

[Kick]

Well, that is a 'scary' axe! But a well-done job!

[Andy40]

Babicz Bridge and the Pups man, props to you. love the redback man, looks killer

[Fretworn]

Great job Gee-Gal. How long did it take to do the carving?
