Daniel Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I started this project the second day of April Vacation 2004 and have finished today on Novemeber 20th 2004. I want to start out by saying that I most definately didn't start this project by working everyday. This is my first project(or modification project) and it started as a RG that I bought used from the Boston Daddy's Junky Music Shop for $160. Including that $160, I spent maybe $400 on this project including supplies and parts. I did the finish, sanding, monkey grip, choosing parts, and scalloping myself with some help from my dad. My dad did all of the wiring though since it was cramped and confusing for a first wiring job(btw all those jobs I did was the first time). I used no scrap wood to test anything on and this was a make or brake project for sure. I couldn't do the jack since I wanted mine natural and you would see the lines from drills and whatnot and I couldn't do the claw since I don't have a router. For finish I used poly, and I put it on with a brush, but for the last coat I used spray so there would be no lines from the brush. I sanded the black paint from hand until I got a power sander and got it off using that. In total of all sanding, I did about 42 hours, which is because of Ibanez's tough clear finish over the black. And finally here is a comparison pic and link to the other 53 progress pics. http://photobucket.com/albums/v452/danthem.../JEM%20Project/ -for pics Comments and Critizism welcome.
