Surf Green Relic Strat - Body.

Don't forget to click the pictures to enlarge them! Finally I have got around to properly using my air compressor, This body is the basis for another scalloped relic. Soild ash in Surf green, finished in nitro and relic-ed.

Scalloped Strat Update - Finished!

At last, after months of waiting and customs charges I have got the neck. I spent the evening putting everything together, and now I have a beautiful sounding, beautiful playing Vintage Modern scalloped strat ala Yngwie. It looks old but sounds pretty modern. Great for the sort of music I play!. Here are the pictures anyway! I've got for that dull arty look with the photo's!

Flying V project.

A new project! I am still awaiting the neck for my scalloped strat so in the meantime I have begun a flying v mod. It started off as a grubby, sticker laden epiphone. So far I have taken the guitar to bits, peeling the stickers off, and getting all of the sticky marks off of the body and pickguard. I am going to strip all of the paint off down to bare wood and finish it in a natural stain, and wood wax. I have stipped the paint off of the back of the body but it has some really thick sealer shit underneath, like a layer of plastic! So I am going to have to sand through that as nitro mors doesn't seem to want to get through it! I have put new pickups in the pickguard and wired them up. I have got GFS crunchy rails in the bridge and a 10k lil killer in the neck, should hopefully sound good!

I have only have these 2 pictures at the moment, more updates soon!

Scalloped strat update!

As I didn't get to put much about the guitar the other day I am going to tell you what is going to be in it.

So you've seen the alder reliced body. For the neck I am using a MightyMite scalloped maple neck with CBS headstock and 70's fender decal. Pickups are GFS Neovins. The overwound set loaded into a mint green pickguard and cream covers and knobs. Wilko Piston machine heads, and wilko fat block vintage strat trem. I have also shielding the cavities in the body even though I'm not sure I needed to as the Neovins are totally noisless!

More updates soon :-).

This is my Solid alder strat body that I am going to use for a scalloped strat project. Got it in shiny vintage white, so dulled it down a bit and stuck a vintage pin up girl on it, then reliced it :-) I shall post more updates when the other parts arrive, and hopefully update some other projects I have been doing too.
