Members Metalrulez Posted October 3, 2010 Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 The overall outline of that body reminds me of something .....Ahhh I got it a cartoon ghost made out of a bedsheet!! An interesting outline but that funky right arm/lower bout looks like it is made to be broken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XylemBassGuitar Posted October 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2010 Looks amazing! What kind of bridge is going on that thing? Tune-o-matic or fixed? Thanks zantor!

Members XylemBassGuitar Posted October 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 The guitar is now fretted and has several coats of finish! The guy who ordered the guitar asked for Jescar EVO gold alloy frets which look really nice with the black limba and gold MOP dots. They're pretty well-made too, the barbs on the tang are very neat and tidy. Completed pics coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used several coats of Watco Danish Oil for the finish. I'll be putting on a coat of wax here in the next day or so as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
