Don't like the neck on it though... ← yeah neck was a good idea at the time ive since orderd lefty strat neck that i will shape headstock into tele style the body is being coated in a black tint after full polish so the alloy will still shine thru the black ive seen this done on some hot rods and dragrace cars its a very efective finish at the moment im just happy to be able to play it so il play it for a week or so save up some more cash then finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billet cutter Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 well i got my lefty floyd rose fitted and ive done a few more bits n peices ive played it a fair bit and im still very happy with the out come so the last thing to do is strip it down and send it of to be coated might send it of next week photos have been updated so for those of you intersted take look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan O' Zakk Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) Just a thought about finishing it...yes, aluminium is a bit tough to paint...and I'm fairly sure that you could not gold plate it, either. Anodize it!!! The texture, the color vibrance...the durability...it's SO worth it! Just make sure you go through the entire guitar and get the surface super smooth first!

syxxstring Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 My vote on the neck is Moses Graphite. I have an aluminum tele that I had the body made by Spruce Hill Guitars and figured graphite was the only choice for necks. I don't regret it at all.

billet cutter Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 to be honest im happy with this guitar at the moment and i really dont want to mess wih it it sounds awesome and im happy with the neck thats on it as for finish it will be painted in a transperant black( so u can see the polished alloy thru it ) il send the body away for that within the next 2 weeks ive already started on my next project an alloy thin line tele thanx 4 the input guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
