Members silverring233 Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 well i got the guitar in yesterday. for those who don't know about the guitar jj gave away, here's the thread http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2512007 it's everything he said it was. a wonderfully used, beat up, plywood strat. i thank everyone who offered parts for this guitar, but i wound up having just enough parts to get this thing together. really all it needed was a bridge, jack, pickup, pot, and some screws. i had a generic hardtail bridge i was going to use for another project. and i also had a 250k CTS pot to use as well. i put a duncan designed hb103 in for now. all in all, not bad for a ply bodied guitar. on to the pics.

Members silverring233 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 i've got some ideas floating around in my head on what kind of finish to do for this guitar. here's where HC comes in. i want any and all ideas for a finish. i have someone waiting to paint this, but i want to hear from the HC community. leave it as is? pimp the hell out of it? simple is better? give me details people. for now, i'm just gonna play it and piss people off with it. but let me know what your ideas are. ready.................set.......................GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Members Jimmy Chitown Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 That's awesomely beautifuliscious. It only needs 1.75" more of silver tape and some random sharpie marks. Now ROCK that bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Get some black paint and strip the body of all hardware. Paint the treads of an old tire black and roll the tire over the body. Let dry and reinstall all the hardware. Then rock the {censored} out of that roadkill guitar.

Members GuitarNoobie Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 cool, i think that neck is one i gave JJ several years ago... but, either paint the body or rough up the headstock so they match :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members silverring233 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 well so far, the "roadkill" idea seems to be the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarNoobie Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 i luvs me a squier neck. they seem to fit me so much better than a thicker/wider neck it is thinner. 41mm if i remember correctly... wasn't a good neck for me starting out as a beginner. i could probably play it much better now... glad it's working for you silverring !!! rock that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sylvesterlowery Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hey silverring, I'll get that extra hardtail bridge out to you this week. Been going crazy with the family and holidays lately, slipped the old rusty trap of a mind.I'd rock it as is. Looks killer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Kinda like it the way it is, kinda. I agree that the headstock should look equally {censored}ed up, or stripped down to the maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
