Hi

This is my entry for september GOTM. RC-4 with following mods and specs:

Coloring with water based stains "cole black" and "fire engine red"

Finish with TO

Individual black string bridges

customized black pearl scratch plates and truss rod cover

black tuning pegs with stock chrome ferrules

black strap locks

electronics shielded with aluminum tape


This is my second build so far. Can´t wait for the next one. Huge thanks PBG and to all of you builders that have educated me through your wisdom and diaries during this process. I was gonna keep this close to stock at first but when I saw the flaming on the body - everything changed and this is what happened.

well done Rabbitz I love the colour of the top and I didn't realise the back/sides/neck were just tru oil. Shows how nice mahogany looks with just clear coats. I could definitely picture Slash playing this beast. You got to be really happy with this for a first build. How does it sound ? I've found these LP kits sound pretty good stock. The pups have a nice growl
