November 2015 Guitar of the Month

[Rainsy]

Thanks for the positive comments guys. It usually takes me three goes to get something the way I like it but I think I got pretty good on the first one in this case. Already getting ideas for the next one.

The judges are definitely going to have fun this month. So many different designs and unique in their own way.

kenfu, I may make a tutorial if there is enough interest in how to etch aluminium like this. Photos being worth a thousand words and all.

Hi everyone
Have finished my RC-1 and my homage to John Lennon.
I finished my Pitbull Rickenbacker in Black Burst with custom made Truss Rod Cover.
Replaced the nut for a lower action and replaced the switch with a Gibson switch and it plays really well.
Did the set-up and sounds great with a Capo now. It has a lot of scope in the sound.
A special mention to my hubby Glenn who taught me to solder... was a lot of fun...

I think I'll be doing another guitar at some stage...
Ciao Janet

Cont...

Rainsey’s SG-1

“Ok people know I’m a sucker to the airbrush so how can I not love this entry. Headstock design is miles away from what is normal for this guitar and to me that's a great thing. I can see this being played in a psychedelic 70’s band. Great work”

“Big effort for a first build, particularly on the sprayed finish. Blue is very bright and this thing will have stage presence.”

“This guitar is a good solid build, everything is where it should be, it’s got an interesting headstock and I like the base colour combination. It’s really about the air-brushed detail, that's what sets it apart, and what makes it unique. I like it, and it would have a lot of stage presence.”

“Nice airbrushing and etching - has really brought new character to this SG!”


And the winner is...


Ejay's IB-5



Congratulations Ejay, this bass looks amazing and I don't think anyone wouldn't want it in their collection.
