Ar-Pharazon Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) Well, I finally got hold of a camera to show the WIP. The body is a type of mahogany, although i'm not sure what type...I got the body in that shape on eBay so I had no control over that... now its in a somewhat more playable condition... locking Ibanez Edge which I fouled up the first time... Evolutions neck and bridge and an HS-2 middle - single coil used only (all p'ups wired JEM style). Finished with a coat of the toughest wearing floorboard stuff available (thinned down a bit with xylene)... Sounds similar to my lead guitarist's JEM... no wonder really And yes, for the more observant of you, I did break the bridge by dropping it (both E strings fine tuners snapped) Anyhoo... Pics: http://www.imagebucket.net/images/arpharazon/bat.jpg http://www.imagebucket.net/images/arpharazon/bat1.jpg obviously still some work to be done... but its playable so I'll slap on some knobs and give it a gig and see how it goes (obviously won't use the trem) Edited February 13, 2006 by Ar-Pharazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 No strap buttons? How you gonna gig without strap buttons/locks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ar-Pharazon Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 As I said, its not all done yet... going to fit some dimarzio strap locks (the kind with the plastic clip... so no buttons... just waiting for the order to come through.

Ar-Pharazon Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 To marksound: I'm sorry but I've not been keeping up with rule changes since I joined (2004)... plus they were supposed to be offsite links... but they didn't come out right... sorry I'm not a forum geek. To aidlook: it not supposed to be particularly pretty, the main aim was to get a functional guitar out of it... plus, all I had was a router, a chisel and a hand-drill, so I think it went pretty well (I have no workshop to work in and I'm on a student budget... the only reason I got the Evos is because they were going for AU$70 for the pair...so all up the guitar had cost about AU$120... not exactly luxury) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
