  • 3 TITE Red Metallic Crackle

    Just arrived today (the complete body) from Chris via UPS and packed well enough to withstand an atom bomb.... This thing is like brand friggin new and was supposedly a NAMM guitar. Unfortunately the neck was parted off and could possibly be in Spain somewhere.

    Why, I ask you?

    Ah well....so I installed a Charvel Model 1 neck that I had modded with a string lock and black binding onto her, and while it looks great (the neck), it almost looks too old for this brand new looking body. This thing was never played as the pickups don't have any where as does the fine tuners on the JT6. Paint is in excellent condition with no playwear at all. Has one little chip near the neck pocket in the black area so it's an easy fix.
    Some pics for you but I must say this is one of the hardest finishes I've ever photographed. My pics suck to say the least, you just can't appreciate the metallic flake until you see it in person-













    Thanks again, my friend -

              I think that neck looks perfect on that guitar. The maple fret board with the black binding is incredible. Enjoy.

                  Budman,
                  Nice! Very nice...

                  As for the wear on the body not matching the neck. Just drag the body behind your pickup for about 2 blocks, that should take care of it. Or you could do 1 block, if you don't want too much wear!
                  I'm angry because you're stupid

                      Thanks fellers, she weighs in at 9 lbs. which is the heaviest bolt on I have. Surprisingly sounds nice with the stock pickups and the JE-1200.
