gw_guitars Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 It's not my style. BUT, you've done that very nice. It looks like this guitar has been around the world a couple of times. Rust, not afraid of blood poison? :o Anyway, Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemical_ali Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 as a matter of fact it will NOT affect the tone.alex is right and it is just a cheap strat copy which he is adding his own flavor to.it is no worse than a burn finish.and you might want to take a look at some of the guitars he's built from scratch before you critisize his work.different strokes man.this isn't the esp forum.you might want to take a look at the rules of the forum also....just words to the wise i fail to see how chipping wood and paint off the body of the guitar would not affect the tone. there's more to a guitar than just the strings, wes.

the third eye Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 i agree it will change the tone BUT only minutely and it may even sound better, could go either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the third eye Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 if you were able to measure the most minute differences in tone even the slightest pickscratch would change the sound the point is where do you draw the line that you actually care???

LGM Guitars Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I totally appreciate the work you've done alex, and I think for what it is it looks great. I don't understand the relic thing at all, I'm **** about my guitars, if they get a scratch they get fixed never mind worn out like that hehehe. But you have really captured the look. Now, having said that, *** IS WRONG WITH SHOCKING PINK???? I HAPPEN TO LIKE IT!!!!!!!!! see, I fixed the VSK, it was a relic, it looked like this originally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
