schools killing me!
eh....
not too much anymore, ive come to terms with the fact that im not gonna pass my composition class.
it wasnt the smartest thing ive ever done, signing up for it.....
yes i was depressed for a bit but now i realize it leaves me time to get back to building, customizing, destroying and hating guitars and music in general!


i thought id share with you guys my latest build, i think this is the forum section it goes under
ill update this as new developments arise, but because i have no money itll be a slow and hopefully steady process.

here it is at its current stage











the plan is to stick 4 pickups in it!
a duncan SH-2/4 set
a low end duncan preformer, bridge model
and a mini-bucker, a firebird-like thing; neck model

at the moment i have the duncans, all 3 of em.
but that last ones being real annoying.
im putting all my eggs in the basket that is ebay.

as for the wiring
the neck models will have dedicated tone knobs
the bridge modles will share a tone
they'll each have a volume knob of their own
and killswitches all around!

ive never put a killswitch on anything, so if you have experience with this please help me



the paint job is gonna be acrylic/oil paints straight to the body then coated.
probably with polyurethane.
think of like.....an abstract mango....
yeah i suppose thats the way to describe it....
those colors in an impressionist manner
yeah, thats as well as i can describe the image ive got floating in my mind
at the moment


the neck i have....somewhere.




thats all for now.

oh yeah, i recorded this like a day or two ago.
for all my homies on all the forums who've never seen me play

k some updates
here are some pics of the body with the first coat of the "Abstract Mango" paintjob

thank ya Dev

heres some from the painting i just did, yeah theyre bad quality but you get the idea

I'm thinking mango-smudge-burst
Probably getting patented at gibson as we speak, along with various lipstick names + burst, hehe.
The pickup setup sounds very smart, can't wait to hear it. (I'm taking it as a given that we will).

yes my friend, you will most definitely hear it.
thing is some stuff has happened and i dont know if ill be able to put the 4 into this one




...
BUT!
ive got other ones in the works, and atleast one of em will have the 4 humbuckers.

this particular one, the mango burst (lol)
will have a gigantic vintage pickup.

here are some better pics





and heres one of the pickup, if anyone knows anything about it please let me know
its uh...pretty huge, the other pup in the pic is regular sized so you can tell the difference

bodys done!
well....
the top is....
;D




the pics dont really do it justice, but after i sand is down with steel wool ill post some more pics


also...
the neck....
yup


....
fretless


first coat on the headstock

pic of fretless-ness



opinions?

Did you ever finish this? I just ask because I wanted to resurrect a VERY old thread

That is like super cool!

looking cool so far..and that pickup kinda looks like something you'd see in one of those weird Japanese guitars from the 60s (like a Teisco or something)
Or maybe an electric lap-steel guitar?

Wow, necrophilia much?

The hugs pickup I gifted a year ago
I have the body and neck sitting around somewhere, I really should finish it...I might do it this week
Thanks for reminding me
I'll post up dated pics
