Boggs Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Progress update to 8/31... I'm liking how this is turning out!! I thought I had black tuning machines... The golds are temporary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 not my style, but the work is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Ross Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'm w/ killemall8, nice work. Just curious: how does the kanji relate to the pinstriping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Why didn't you position the pinstripe a bit lower, so it wouldn't be covered partly by the neckplate? Just wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggs Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I gave my specialty finishing guy free reign on artwork. It all just worked out that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljib Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Then I'd ditch the neckplate and see if I could expose more free-reign art with some individual ferrule things...(someone help me with the name of those) looks cool.

Boggs Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) I have them and tried laying them out and this actually worked out better. He purposely did the Kanji character so part of it went under the bridge. He feels it adds a bit of authenticity to the art.

Boggs Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 IT'S ALIVE!!! I finished the access to the side trussrod adjustment, locked down the tuning machines, wired her up, strung her up, and she plays like a dream right off the table without doing a THING! When the action and intonation are tweaked, you will have to kill me first and then you MAY pry it out of my cold, dead hands... Plugged in, this is possibly the best sounding RockBeach yet... Those Vintage Vibe noiseless strat singles are incredible (even just through the V-Amp) and the trick angles of the pickups makes each switch position really unique... I think this one is my keeper... If you want another, you will just have to have one built up this way. I think this will be my main player/demonstrator... I'll record it later. I also still need to hear it through my amp... I have to get ready to go out now though... WOO-HOO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggs Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 FWIW, you can find the finished guitar in the Announcements forum in the October Guitar of the Month page... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
