chrisb0109 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Does anyone have a little test guitar that they try things on? I have this squier, it was my first guitar, which I just try random things on to se how it works and if I can do it. I thought I would post a pic for a good laugh. Its hideous but I love it. 10 points for anyone who can tell me what kind of wood its sitting on. here is a current pic here are links to its various stages. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/chr...109/monkey2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/chrisb0109/knobs1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/chrisb0109/1white.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/chrisb0109/a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/chr...9/Finished1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/chrisb0109/First2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Good stuff! It's always fun to have a junker as scrap wood. As for the 10 points, my guess is purpleheart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiKi Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 thats very interesting, i wouldnt have guessed it was a strat style in its previous life. where did you get the neck? is it original or did you buy it somewhere. and are those wearmarks on the frets real or did you make them for that "relic" effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb0109 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 yep, its purple heart Tyhe neck was sent to me from a guy in New Jersey who this november I will be building a fanned fret guitar for. He bought it off ebay and didn't like it so he gave it to me. The wear marks were on there when he got it. It says fender on the headstock but its obviously handmade, and not ver well at that. Someone went to great lengths to decieve their customers on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiKi Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 yeah, the headstock isnt even correct, the fender headstocks have balls at the ends, this just curves....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldbil Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I think it's cool in a "Los Straitjackets" kind of way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushy the shroom Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I had a test guitar to test this pickup idea I thought up, but I don't know if I have any pictures of it.. oh wait- http://staticline.drastic-creations.com/ne...yan/guitar.html . Pretty darned sick looking, but the pickup worked :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
