  • Well, I built one....

    I have no clue what the body is, I'm thinking Alder. Got it from a drunk guy for $30, a buddy gave me a Mighty Mite neck for $65 (unused too) with a new set of black Wilkinson tuners. I had an X2N, just re-potted it, was given a SD style rail pup, I think it's chinese, and had the rest of the parts in my bins. I did wire the stacked HB out of phase, only way I could get it to work without sounding wonky. Still not done with it, I'm going to paint it a candy apple red sparkle and get either a white or black H/S pickguard. The logo is from a hang tag off of a strap, doesn't look right plain . Plugged it up today to try it out, taking it to rehearsal tonight. I'm diggin' it, sounds pretty good. I was originally going for EVHs frankenstrat from VH I. Spent 3-4 months getting everything together, and I'd like to thank all you guys here for teaching me how to do this. Obligatory crappy cellphone pic

        It's going too, promise . I played it tonight, and it did really well. Can't decide what I want to do finish wise. Might just leave it alone for a while, but I'm not a fan of the beat to shit look.

            Yep, realized this after "finishing" it. I like the way it plays so much that I'm going to wait to change anything though, and 2 of my friends have offered to buy it already. Nope. I did good, even if I do say so myself, and I do
