Help with my homemade jackson/charvel star

Or maybe a Bengal graphic on top of that bad boy like this:

Dude, I love the concept, but let me know what you think about that bridge. I had a Schaller 475, which is very similar. Everytime I bent the high E above the 15th fret the string would pop out of the roller. Hopefully yours is not plagued with the same problem.

I vote for a pizza star- red and wite checkers! Welcome to the board.

I bought a can of that same paint brand you're using to colour coat. Have not used it yet. I bought the biggest nozzle I could too. LEt me know your experience with it, how it performs, I'd be interested.

^You must try that paint on a scrap of wood with the same grain filler and other products because the ink may not match the chemicals used on the wood. Montana cans has other qualitys of paint. Gold cans are matt. Some areas from the guitar are smooth while others are rough like sand paper.

Great job!!!

Thanks for all the help. Yesterday night i figured out the wiring from two schematics. One for mini switches and other for 1 humbucker 1 vol and 1 tone. It was the first time that i soldered an entire circuit. Its hard. Especially the mini switch. I used cooper wires and wires made from grey metal (don't know the name) because i did'nt had enough from one kind. It works well. It only hums when the pickup is split. I wired so that the mini switch can change from parallel to coil split and normal humbucker (series). It sounds really nice on parallel with the tone rolled all way down. The distorton is nice although i did'nt have an chance to see how it really sounds because i play on a roland cube but on the clean channel the mini switch makes lots of difference. The cleans are great. Its impressive the amont of sounds that i can do with only one pickup. I don't need neck pickups no more.
It plays better than my fender toronado. The bridge is well placed unlike my korean fender. I shielded the control cavitie. Its a great guitar. It was well worth the work and money spent. IT SUSTAINS FOREVER. The neck is smooth and fast because of the matt lacker.

Looks nice bro! I think you did a great job on this considering your age and lack of experience. I'd say that you're off to a fine start in guitar building and modding. Now after all that hard work you can finally play it and reap the rewards of hard work.

I'm a little late to the party, but I would've voted for blood splatter on pearl white.... anyway I thought you had to let a rattle-can-painted guitar dry for a looong time before assembly?

[superbadboy2]

I probably had to let it dry for long but i wanted to play. And the paint isn't that nice. When the paint starts to come out i will get someone with experience to paint.

Nice! I like how it turned out!

Well done!
