Wow AJ, that sure is a stunning looking guitar. That gloss is something else. 8-)

Well done mate.

From Ray:

Not sure if I am doing this right, I tend to get a bit lost in these forums. Anyway...

Here's my first go at one of these kits. It's a 72 Thinline Deluxe/Jap Super Deluxe mash-up.

Quite fast and "twangy". In addition to the cosmetic mods (and through-body stringing) I also split the humbuckers with a 3-pos toggle. Pretty good result.

Cheers.

just awesome there Ray, well done. (now I gotta another one to add to my "to-List"..)

Here is some pics of my sg custom i have made ,, took me 4 months to finish but well worth the time .




Finish in a gloss black ,, all standed hardware from kits ,, custom shape and hand made pickgaurd ,, plus earthed the bridge ,,

It has 4 coats undercoat ,, 10 top coats ,, 8 clear coats ,, and cut and polished ,, pics really do not do it justice this build turned out perfect .

Hi and welcome to the forum. That is one seriously good looking SG you have there!

22 coats! Thats a lot of paint!

Wow!

Does it have screws embedded in a pattern around the body? Or is there a bizarre pickguard on there?.

[robin]

Wow, that's one dangerous looking guitar, well done. 8O
