Mutts on parade

[Swillmaster]

Finally finished a couple of projects and present them now for your viewing (dis)pleasure.

Jackson body that was my first attempt at a refin, didn't turn out too bad and now I know what it takes. The Dimarzio v-trem sounds great and stays in tune. BL 500XL and a Lil'59. Pickup bezel and trem bar by Budman-- his parts rock!



Mighty Mite maple body with a Warmoth neck, brass v-trem, and a Custom 5/Budman bezel. Damn thing weighs 11 lbs...

Oh well, pretty good looking axes there! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Looks killer! Yeah, that refin thing can be a pain in the ass...makes paying somebody $200 to spray it sound good, huh?

What tuners did you use on the maple boat anchor?

Yes, it is rather bright sounding, but nothing that an EQ tweak won't fix. I was going for the "25th Anniversary Charvel" look, but didn't like the stainless steel saddles. Plus the fact that the body isn't Cherryburst...next project maybe!

The tuners on the "anchor" are locking Schallers. (locks from the top) I played it (standing) yesterday for awhile, at least until my shoulder went numb.

Nice-looking guitars. I especially like the boat anchor with the maple neck and the glossy finish. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
