Ok som eof you may remember my original frankenstien. and when it broke. I tried to fix it. The fix worked but the body was cracked and weakened from all the doweling and redrilling and pounding of th eposts to make em go in. etc...
The original
the repair
Then the newest rendition.
The raw body front
Raw body back
ooooo a mesa box whats in it?
nothin in it just air. hmm maybe hes building an air guitar.
after second coat of primer
after 3rd coat of primer and ready for painting
some of the pics or the process (ie the B/W) arent available due to camera failure.
after painted black, taped for the white and taped for the red paint.
back ready for red paint
I found a white guitar and i want to paint it red
Red back
after 2 coats of red and removing tape. front
back
and the end result.
Theres still some minor tweaking , like realigning the bridge pup to align with the strings better. taking off the corners of the middle pup rout to slip the switch in cus i forgot todo it ahead of time. and then touching up the paint there.
I intonated it and set it up the other day at work. and its a monster in tone. Very light in weight and has that nice airy sound to it like the production frankies do. Now im considering changing the frets out to the tall thin ones. Like the ones on my Wolfgang.
The paint job isnt perfect but either am I. Im happy with it. and i guess thats whats important. Altho it is close enough to have fooled some people at work even my boss asked "When did that come in?". When i was carrying it and he say the body. So im happy with it.
