# 5 you fools!!!

 

[-Gavin-]

I agree with Krigloch, 5 kicks ass

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

hmm and all this time I hated the scotish.

 

[bobvex]

body work is done. . .heres some pics

The Neck Pickup Hole is filled and the neck pocket is deeper, and he cut of a part of the hell that stuck out a lot, so that was cool

while i was there we plugged the toggle switch hole also, as it is much to big to let a mini toggle in there. . .

see the cut out. . .lot prettier than the other one i posted

[bobvex]

[AlexiFollower]

#2 has vintage pins and #3 has modern pins

 

[bobvex]

[bobvex]

well. . its all part i guess you could say, i found a rhoads body and a DK2 neck, and i am stickin gthem together with custom paintjob and custom electronics. . .nothing to special, alder body, maple neck rosewood finger board. typical jackson workjust some body mods and stuff. . .

 

[~MarttiPrkl]

So you didn't made body and neck by yourself? Dude, that's cheating ..

 

[bobvex]

hey i wanna start simple, when im a famous luthier . . ill build you one for free. . .

 

[goth_fiend]

i see somebody was watching kill bill....badass man

 

[bobvex]

well i filled the grain this weekend, and sanded it down to as smooth as i could get it. and i have already put two coats of paint on the front of the guitar. i will take some more pics later. . .

 

[-Gavin-]

awesome.

I cant wait

 

[bobvex]

As you can see, its still not done, but its coming along really nicely.
the paint is the hardest part cuz sometimes there are small holes that the grain filler didnt get that you have to fill with paint. and you have to be careful not to splatter or make any runs.
