like your plans. looks interesting. i may have to direct my friend to this thread. guitars are to him what cars are to me and he keeps going on about plans to modify guitars.

he once got a really really nice old floyd rose strat from an odd shop in brighton with plans to paint it black with uneven red pinstripes. it would have been the absolute sex but it turned out to be a little too beyond repair for him (he's not very mechanically or electronically talented) so he swapped it for a huge marshall amp.

this is mine. used play a bit but havent done for ages so literally cant do anything now. its a fender jag squier copy. i want to get a white scratch plate though.


and this is what i was so tempted to buy a few years ago. reverse bodied gibson firebird special edition, 1 of 8 in the world. had a beautiful water effect colour. saw it in gak in brighton. just as well i didnt get it, that money bought me the mini + the work it needed + insurance lol. it was £2600! similar to this...


ill be checking up on this thread!

Oli Start playing again man. Never give up hehe. It always gives you somthing to fall back on, Like when your annoyed, you can play some ACDC or some Indie Then For the days your feeling calm, play some acoustic hippy newton faulkner style stuff. It gives you somthing to do whenever your bored, and you can obviously make money and freinds out of it, like at Jam sessions etc.
The great thing is, Today you dont even need lessons with a direct teacher,. theres loads of great sources for Guitar lessons on the internet likw on cyberfret.com for example. Its really good!

Looks good mate. What laquer you using. What did you apply to "harden" the wood for painting?
