avengers63 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 What are you using (material & tools) to form the Ghostbusters logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feral_smurf Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 What are you using (material & tools) to form the Ghostbusters logo? Yeh i was a bit cheap, its only mdf. I traced out the shape from a picture from the net then just cut around it with a jigsaw. Then i sanded it down and routed the roundover. The contours are just formed with a palm sander.

feral_smurf Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 This is what i have done so far. The routing of the pickup holes is a bit awful but i will cover it up with a pickguard so its ok. I still need to drill holes for bridge etc and do a bit more painting of detail, eyes etc. Will post the finished piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feral_smurf Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt122/f...rf/DSC05073.jpg http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt122/f...rf/DSC05074.jpg Yeh i finished it and it actually plays!!! I have finally realised the joys of a completed guitar that you have built. It has doubly encouraged me to keep this up and build more projects, hopefully more normal.
