www Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I built this guitar using the idea of fabric as a finish. I found a site that does marbled fabric and liked the looks. The body is mahogany with very rough routing making it hard to cover wih the pickguard which is slightly off centered. I used Minwax polyurethane spray over Minwax polyurethane sanding sealer. The fabric was applied as the tutorial. I purchased it on ebay with bridge and jack for $15.00. The neck is an old Boogie Bodies neck that was laying around their shop. It is maple on rosewood, one piece, 14" radius. Bought pickups and pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyB Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Wow, that thing looks incredible. It almost has the "chameleon" effect that is so expensive to attain with paint. Pardon my ignorance, but what's the switch between the tone and volume dials for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 The switch is a series/parallel switch. It allows combinations to have all the pickups working in series or parallel. Similar to the G&L S-500. The cloth came from a quilter. http://www.piecefulquilter.com' target='_blank'>. When putting the finish on (polyurethane) it turned the white on the cloth yellow and with the overspray from the burst it made it green. I will post more pics soon. I am trying to make them smaller for easier down and uploads. Thanks Wes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
