Painted-in-the-bathroom EVH Project - SD Wild Card

[MetalMedal II]

Needs truck reflectors and a quarter hammered in to the front, otherwise, nice relic job.

Nice job! Real nice, ...like so-nice-eddie's-already-called-his-attorney's nice! But you need to make sure it's a 1974 year quarter, like Eddie's...wait, make in a '75 to avoid prosecution!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! This axe is a work in progress...next up: Bare Knuckles VHII, D-Tuna, broken pickguard, creme "tone" knob.

Looks really cool. Good work.

That's very cool! I just got a flat black San Dimas and now I'm thinking about doing mine in black and yellow.

You saved yourself $22,000.00 !! Looks as nice as a Fender overpriced "franken"... Nice job!

I'd do white, but that's only because I've always found the guitar on VHI to be more awesome than the VHII one

I got bored over the weekend and took a trip to Wal Mart. Picked up 3 cans of Krylon, various grits of sandpaper, and a roll of painters tape. The next day, I had assembled my freshly painted EVH axe. [/url]

nice job! hard to believe you did it in one day though.... spray can paint needs a looooong time to dry it's only dry to the touch but inside, the solvents are still wet and need to be evaporated. if you leave that on a guitar stand for a couple of days you will see the impression of the stand stems (that the body rests on) on the bottom of the guitar... i would hang it up or disassemble the guitar and let the body hang dry for at least month or two before assembling it.

Haha. Done deal, bro!

[quiksilver]

That looks amazing!

[cvansickle]

Very impressive, both the guitar and the playing!

Thanks to everyone for your compliments. I just ordered the misc. cosmetic stuff (pickguard, MXR-style knob) as well as the D-tuna.

As for the humbucker...I'm torn between the BK VHII and the EVH Frankenstein hum. I've heard both in person, so this one's going to take a little time to think about. Also, I'm seriously considering shipping the guitar off to have a neck single slot routed and a Fernandes sustainer installed.

This is going to be a fun project...
