Members JerEvil Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Bound ebony fretboard is on!!! You can see the chrome pick up rings on there as well. He is filling some of the route as I opted, per I BELIEVE Ovid's suggestion, to go with the 50's pickguard. Also you can see the input has been re-routed to the inside of the bottom wing. He is finishing up the route and will be painting in the next day or two. They are just {censored}ty cell phone pics. He took more actual pics of the entire process up until now and is taking more as he makes progress. I will do a proper thread when it is finished.

Members Crunchtime Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looks great. I recall it was going to have stainless frets and was reasonably priced.

Members Nerine Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 What colour you having it? Plastic "chrome" pickup rings are a one way ticket to tasteless It's gonna take a great colour to pull them off IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerEvil Posted August 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 What colour you having it? Plastic "chrome" pickup rings are a one way ticket to tasteless It's gonna take a great colour to pull them off IMO. Those are metal like the ones on my old KE2. Colour (see what I did there - :poke:) is called Obsidian Black Pearl. It is a metallic black with some green, gold and red flake but not gaudy like the GMW guitars. Pickguard/truss rod cover is also going to be black pearl. Not the more gray/blue looking stuff. The sheet he bought is very dark. I must say, I am glad I went with the trapezoid inlays instead of the blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerEvil Posted August 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 This is gonna kick ass, dude! Thanks brutha. Best of all is that this guitar literally cost me next to nothing thanks go Craigslist. To get the guitar and do all the work still cost below what a used USA Gibby V (not faded) cost.

Members ENdtime Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'd love to see that! Fo sure. I gotta take same pics with some good light so the color comes out. I stained the maple top, it was a 3 piece top typical for paint grade, a dark green that fades to a dark blue burst. I'll make a thread tmro.
