Guitaraxz Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 We made a Frankostrat and decided to try and paint the black colour last. We used Caoba Blanca for the body, Cedar for the neck, Rosewood fretboard and Duncan Mod 78 humbuckers for that brown sound. Sorry, no pics of the build. But let's get to the paint, usually the black goes first but we thought it would look nicer if all the electronic cavities were black so we deceided to go in reverse. First White & Red then tape it up and paint it black I think that the black mate lines will look cool on another Franky! peeled her off And had the cavities in black too Put some clear & polished her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Nice! It makes so much more sense to paint the black last. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMpleONe89 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I love the striped design. Don't know why some people hate it. This looks great too! The black being last gives it a different look, kind of like the Kramer 5150 and how it was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bileshake Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Love this, I'm eyeballing a black striker for a stripe job. I might do a metallic orange just to be a dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
