Members hardtdc Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 That is going to look sooo' damn good. Natural finish or stain? How's going to turn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalhead666666 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 That is going to look sooo' damn good. Natural finish or stain? How's going to turn out? thanks It'll be a natural gloss finish. Oh and to answer an earlier question I forgot to answer I'm not so sure how I'm doing the electronics so I'm waiting to drill for the hardware it's not much harder after it's finished you just have to be careful. It will be a srayed conversion varnish finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalhead666666 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Back from finishing, hopefully I'll get it together this weekend, I still have to get some switches and humbucker screws and springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalhead666666 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 It is great, it plays perfect has really low action and no buzzing at all. The stainless steel frets feel really smooth when bending and the sperzel locking tuners are awesome. The dream 180's sound great playing anything from cleans to death metal and the single coil is great for clean. Each humbucker can be coil tapped so I can get all the strat sounds. I don't really see any need in building anymore electrics for myself besides maybe one of these with a floyd rose since this is pretty much perfect. It is a lot better than I thought it would turn out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliensporebomb Posted January 22, 2009 Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 Holy moly, fastest build of a neckthru I've ever seen in my life - when I firstcame into this post, it was just a bunch of separate pieces of wood. And now the finished product. Now that you've done this you could do a more ornate one down the road with lots of fancy filigree and such. So what's it sound like?

It sounds great, I can play pretty much anything on it easily. Yeah I'll probably do a more involved one sometime with a floyd rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
