When tragedy strikes!

[Ranbat]

Picked this up at a yard sale for $5. Thought I screwed myself, but I have already sold the neck on eBay for $20 plus shipping and got a couple bucks out of the pickup. I'm gonna re-contour the body and do crazy things to it. Crazy things like put a 'bucker in the neck and a Tele pickup in the bridge with one of those GFS Bigsby tremolos on it. After I spray it with Krylon Glitter Blast. Yep, gonna be craaaaaazeeeee! 






All I can think is that somebody used paint stripper and it ate up that particle board top and back. And then things went bad 

[The Shocker]

Awesome!  I'd buy it for $5.

[Ranbat]

Stripped the body of everything and got out my sander to remove the rest of the paint. I'll be re-cutting those bevels with my router.

Platinum series BC Rich, Class Axe era, particle board and sawdust. Ill send my condolences with a tin of lighter fluid.

What's really weird, is, the particle board veneer on the front and back. The middle is a soft solid wood. It's too bizarre to not turn into something even more bizarre.

[Metal and Beer]

Yeah, those were basically junk but for five bucks ? Hell yeah...

Bonus Points: Quadrupling your money on the neck alone. Make a beater, use as guinea pig, paint-art sacrificial lamb and such

The wood part the outline an routes and the particle board a stuck on the faces moulding for the contours?

[Ranbat]

Once I get the body in a little better shape, I'm going to paint it with some of this stuff.

That should have started with a 'Is'.

Somebody started to scallop it. 

[Hemisaurus]

so if you sold the neck, what are you using for a neck?

[Ranbat]

Most likely? A GFS Tele neck.  Or, a Mighty Mite Gibby style replacement neck. Still debating. The GFS is way cheaper though.

[Ranbat]

Looking better. Took my router and recut the bevels more extreme. Filled in the gouges with Bondo   I still need to apply spot putty to a few dings and spray a final sealer coat.

[The Shocker]

Definitely better.

[Ranbat]

Officially Glitter Blasted. My phone camera doesn't show the sparkle, but it's fab  It needs another coat and some clear sealer. This stuff has a very textured look and feel though. Which, is probably what one should expect when spraying fuckin' GLITTER on a guitar. I imagine with several coats of clear you could get it to smooth out and achieve a nice glossy finish though.

[The Shocker]

Looking good!

[Ranbat]

Ha! Scored a neck off of ebay. I was looking at GFS replacement necks and a Xaviere neck popped up. I got it for a cool $36!

[Ranbat]

So, here it is Glitter Blasted with the neck attached. I'm hoping to score some dogear P-90s, but was wondering if they'll cover the humbucker routes.

[Lumpy]

You could make a pickguard that covers the slop?
