Strato-Master Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Update time Sgt scrappy is almost in uniform I have the fabric glued onto the body and the initial trimming is done. Here is the front Here is the back The neck has also been successfully repaired and everything seems to be in good working order now. As you can see my attempt to have the SSgt rank inlayed didn't work. Oh well mabey another time another project. I have a pair of ABUs that are almost wore out. So there could be a younger sister to this one in the works down the road I also soldered up the electronics to make sure the work For now it will just have the HB. The piezo pickup with follow at a later date when I have more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strato-Master Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well progress is slow I got a couple side jobs repairing co workers guitars. But I got the back of the guitar done so hopefully tomorrow I can start spraying the burst. I also ordered all the hardware except the tuning machines.

shredforbread33 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looks pretty cool man! I also want to say thank you for serving your country. My brother just joined the Army and I really would like to build a guitar for him when he returns. -Marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strato-Master Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thank you you for thanking me and good luck to your brother. I bet he would like what ever you do for him even if its just spending time with him. If my memory serves me correctly you only have 2 or 3 months to build it if you do.

shredforbread33 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Pardon my ignorance but why only 2-3 months? He has 8 weeks of boot camp and tech training left but won't he be deployed to base directly after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strato-Master Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Is he going into the Air force you boot time and calling it tech school would seem to say so but you said Army. If he's going into the Army he will go to his basic training then most likely he will have some leave time where he gets to come home. If he's USAF then yes 8 weeks of boot and right to tech school depending on his job it is anywhere from 4 weeks to three years of tech school if he's not a linguist he wont have the three year tech. I personally had 6 weeks of Boot then 4 months of tech then I got to go home on leave. Also very rarely will they send some one in any branch directly to their duty station. There would have to be an extreme need for him to have too. As most people even after training don't really know their job until they have had some OJT. You can go strait there if you so choose but you can take leave and most people will. If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me! EDIT : P.s. You don't deploy to a regular duty station just special assignments where there is a chance of combat. You have a P.C.S. (Permanent Change of Station) At least that's true in most situations but not all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredforbread33 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sorry this will be my last off topic post. He is Army. He's training to be an weapons/ammunition tech I believe. Not positive though. Either way I don't think I'll be able to build in that time span. Thanks for the details though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
