I liked it better with white/cream PU rings, but either way, that guitar is freaking delicious!

Hmm... I had a hard time deciding myself.

Is half and half any better?

[phantasmagorovich]

Once you go black you never go back!

Also, thanks for the info swordfish, that thing is really nice looking!

[Swordfishtrombone]

Yeah, black looks really nice, excane.

You're welcome, phanta.

Got a $25 GFS Luthier Special Strat body, that ended up being really, REALLY off.

I tried to bolt on a decent MIM Fender strat neck, but it was just miserable sitting on the body because the neck holes had not been drilled properly and I did not want to screw up the neck.
I remembered that I had this old Teisco neck that hbombgraphics had given me a while ago, which I didn't mind drilling new holes into to get it to seat properly onto the body.
The pickups are cheap GFS hot strat pickups and they kind of suck really bad. I just hate strat pickups though. Accidentally killed the neck pickup while routing out the neck pocket a little for the neck's trussrod. The tailpiece is a Pbass bridge turned backwards with holes drilled into it. The bridge is a Teisco roller bridge. The neck is very tall, so the pickups are jacked up as far as they can go to get close to the strings. Currently has a piece of perfboard as the nut cause I haven't bought a brass nut yet. Need to sort out some grounding issues, and I think I might switch up the wiring a little and swap that dead neck pickup out.

Awesome Charvel tuning machines, skully.

That whole thing's amazing (especially the perfboard nut). Needs different pickups, but still totally bitchin'.

[skullservant]

Thanks Chanks. Those tuners are from Hbomb as well!
Trying to figure out the pickup situation. I kind of want to get a single bridge humbucker guard and put something like a Lace Dirty Hesher in the bridge, but then the pickup would cost more than the guitar

[mathias]

Such a pedgecore guitar. Respect.

[UglyCasanova]

DAT HEADSTOCK DOE. HNNNNNNNNNNNNGH

[skullservant]

Such a pedgecore guitar. Respect.

Hahaha yeah, neck and tuners were free, nut was free. Pickguard was $10, Body was $25, strap pegs were $3-4, knobs were $3ish, pots were $6, jack was $2, neckplate was $6, pickups were $45?

[Swordfishtrombone]

Took this one while trying to make new avatar, and I can't be bothered to take another...



The neck pickup route is covered with tape until I can find a sticker or something to put there. Took out the Surf 90s, put in a bridge humbucker I had laying around (possibly even the same one that came in it originally, idk). Sounds pretty awesome, but truss rod needs a little tweaking. Having some minor issues getting the relief right.

New junker/project guitar. After all the snags I ran into trying to build this one, amazingly, I barely had to set it up once I put the strings on.

NSFW: show
