i call this "edison" for the obvious reasons.

holy tits
do the outlets do anything or is it more for novelty purposes? Regardless thatsd sexy as hell.

thanks.

novelty only. the toggle is just a kill switch and i'm going to put a ball of LEDs under the outlet, wired to the switch as well.
it's just for playing simple punk rock...

Awesome! Rust makes everything better.
...well, kind of.
The LEDs are a good idea.

i'm going for the LEDs for sure.

weren't you going to do a rusty finish on a project?

Yep, I just have to reach a point where I can drop the money for the neck and pickups.
I might go ahead and get some of that surfacer to rust up some other stuff in the meantime though.

the pickup is a GFS Dream 90. i didn't like the D90 in a mahogany guitar but it absolutely kills in this one.
the finish is done with a primer/surfacer and a solution to rust the iron is the primer. i also used copper leaf in a few places and have yet a different solution to tarnish that a blue/green patina.
i refinished this 5 times until it came out the way i liked it. i almost gave up. then it just fell together.

Thanks for the information.
I would like to have Tele body like that. Could be a project for next year ('cause pickups are already laying around

)
