Let's see your GUITAR!

[sonidero]

Dang.
I'm not usually into gold anything ever but it looks great with the rest of it.

Ain't that the truth. It's so pretty!

Yeah I didn't think it would work but it POPS OFF THAT HIZZZY YO... Gold and Orange are way down on my list but that shit is tight...

[skullservant]

Thanks Soni!!

That is industrial as fuck! I love it!
What did you use to cut the steel?

[01010111]

Thanks, I love the industrial look of it too! I started with a piece of 3/16 inch steel sheet metal (not stainless mind you, this thing's gonna rust ). I'm not exactly sure on the thickness, it's probably exaggerated a bit, I salvaged it from the recycle bin at the local metal workshop, and it certainly felt pretty hefty while I was working on it

I cut the outside using a jigsaw. Then drilled holes big enough to get the jigsaw through and routed the bridge and both pickups. This was so goddamned tricky. Those weird little bumps on the jazzmaster pickup were so hard to cut using the jigsaw...

Because it was pretty bent out of shape at this point, I hammered it back into shape on the anvil. Then I drilled the rest of the holes and tried to bevel the edges a bit using a bench grinder. Then polished it up with a brush attachment for the grinder (that's how it got that weird directional look).

Badass, my man.

That must been a hell of a jigsaw you used!
It's really nice work, man. Makes me want to make one, too!

[01010111]

Badass, my man.

Thanks! I certainly felt badass making it.

The jigsaw worked really well for the outside. I could've used a plasma cutter, but they're way hard to use by hand, and it would've been super overkill (like trying to use a samurai sword to open letter). I just wish I would've had a rasp/grinder bit for my drill to finalize the pickup and bridge routes.

OMFG dude, that is BEAUTIFUL! Brand new? I love every aspect of that, color, binding, pickups, matching headstock, body contours, BIGSBY, wow! What is it btw, custom jobber?

Over the years, I've come to realize that you and I share the exact same taste in gear.

Thanks! Indeed it is brand new. Ordered that shit online sight unseen because I could no longer resist it. It's actually a Schecter, and a mid priced one at that! Looks and plays like something much nicer.

And yes, we have extremely similar taste in gear. We'd totally be bros IRL if my wife made me move to the midwest

OMG!! So beautiful!

Totally a Schecter. I hope this guitar will help bring down the awful xcorex rep that Schecter has developed in recent years

[sylnau]

You both should move to Quebec City.

Green FTW

A Schecter I'd actually buy.

Cheers on the new toy.
