RC-4 new "vintage" relic-ish build

[eS.G.]

First kit, first purchase from Pit Bull. I couldnt be happier.
Here are some pics of the progression. aged the metals did an espresso stain with a light poly c;ear coat on top.
Upgraded to the Rickenbacker style tailpiece/bridge.
Kit was/is well made and I am very pleased. I am allready online shopping for the next "project" lol

Hi ESG, the build looks excellent, did you rub coffee on the body to get the deep brown colour ? That's all instant coffee is good for !
It fits perfectly on the hanger between the window and picture !

@ Bman, congratulations on your 2000th post, if you weren't a moderator you would be another Overlord of Music !

ah ok ESG, I never knew there was an expresso stain ! I have seen someone on the forum (maybe Stan) rubbed coffee to get a brown stain.
Nice collection, hard to see as the image is so small. Is that a Firebird guitar and jazz bass ? whats the surfer green axe a strat ?

Sorry,
ITs an Epiphone Thunderbird, the New RC-4 and a Fender Jazz Bass. the Surftastic critter is the Squire Jaguar.

no worries ESG, I thought it was a Thunderbird at the start then looked like it had 6 tuners so guesses a Firebird.
Nice collection !

HEre are some other shots of the office.......critters come and go around here......so some (Like the Epi SG --black--with p90's is gone)

Love how you display a tele pickguard that's gold mate !
