killemall8 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 THank you kind sirs. Scott, I actually just put some really diluted black dye on it. I had planned on sanding it back, until i saw how good it looked. I am excited to get some clear on this one! Its all ready for finish. I should get that done tomorrow.

killemall8 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 That's some good clean looking work, K! Thanks The guy who is buying it is buying some Bare Knuckle Blackhawks for it. So it will be interesting to see what all the hype is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonx Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 The guy who is buying it is buying some Bare Knuckle Blackhawks for it. So it will be interesting to see what all the hype is. Guitar looks great. The Blackhawks just sound like EMG 81's but a tad better, so if you dont like EMG's, well... But if you do like EMG's, then the blackhawks will appeal.

salamon-rs Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I love how this came out! I have explorer on my 2 do list for a while but now I have to put it on top of the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 for such a vulgar, pointy, aggressive design (explorers & v's are just so damned bold a design, gotta love them) it came out really elegant & refined looking. how in the name of god did you pull that one off really - really - really cool.

maull Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Quite possibly the best take on an explorer design I have ever seen. Really makes me want to build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazygtr Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice work! Agressive yet elegant. You can remove those tuners and carefuly fill the air pockets with some C/A. No one will ever know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will ever know Thanks. That happend because i tried to recess teh bushings after the finish was on, and it lifted up. I would probably make it worse if i attemted to put CA under it.
