How do peeps...
Expecting the only chaps who'll be reading this will be from MusicRadar.com... Hiya!!!
Late starter for this little challenge.... a bit stupid when I need to refurbish a house in the next few weeks to! I'm full of cracking ideas!!
Spotted this and had a think about it.... and I've had this guitar body for ages... and i mean 2 years... been planning it for ages but never got round to starting... This little idea has motivated the unmotivateable.... if that's even a word!!! maybe lazy tw@t would be better!!!
Was hoping to post pictures.... No idea how to do it yet so there's possibly gonna be some gaps...
I first was given the "guitar" to fix up as a favour. I was told to make it "awesome" by the colleague who passed it over... shortly after i lost my job... boo hoo... (basterds would have sacked me if i hadn't walked out... grrrrr..) anyhow... tried contacting him over the next few months and no reply so I claimed it for me!!!
The story behind it is the chaps (whom gave me the guitar) mates little brother had been to see the vandals and was given the guitar from a roadie cause the neck was bust.... the kid decided to paint it.... with what seemed like a mix of hammerite, nail polish and sawdust.... I spent 3-4hrs one day trying to sand it down and got through some areas... only a small amount mind... and it looks like it posibly could have been an 80's jackson / charvel.... black with the cream cracked finish (cream in the cracks of a black guitar).... and fix the neck by putting a squire neck... delightful fit.... specially liked the action so high you hat to stand on it to fret a note... anyhow.... it has been sat for a ver long time waiting to achieve past glories.... bring on the challenge!!!!
