'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
so think this is the 5th entry this month. This is my entry, LP-1M mahogany body and neck.
Popped the flames on the body with a black stain, then finished in Dingotone Coolangatta gold. Back, sides and neck finished in FW jarrah stain. About 8 coats of tru oil over the entire guitar.
Headstock veneer is blackheart sassafras. I purposely ran the grain horizontal to match the flame on the cap. Truss rod cover is cut out of camphor. Bone nut cut and slotted.
Pickups are tonerider Generators sound great. Got push pull pots to coil split both neck and bridge pups. Hoping I get a bonus half a point for getting Wayne's dog Odie in one of the photos !

cheers Barge, I got at least 2 others ready to enter but waiting to see how many more entries are coming in. The 4D elves have been busy ! haha

nervous anyone?...the judges perhaps?
very slick looking guitars
Dave just think how the regular judges feel end of the month they have to do this all the time !
Looks like there's a blue Ricky bass being entered soon too to make it even tougher to judge!

Hey guys, here is my ib7
candy red over marble with a black burst top, black back and sides, 2k clear. Neck is satin clear with a black head stock face.
Electronics are a stock 3 way, switch craft Jack, cloth wire, push pull volume to tap both pickups which are dimarzio custom blaze 7's in both the bridge and neck. Logo work by andyport and truss rod cover by some champion on eBay.
Currently running the stock trem and nut but thinking I'll change the trem to one I can use a d-tuner with. I'll try to get a video demo up today also. Cheers!
