avengers63 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I've heard Black Sabbath done by Pat Boone. I could handle it by Nickleback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcissism Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I've heard Metallica sung by Avril Lavine... and Sum 41... and Korn... There's a pretty good version of Battery with Dave Lombardo on drums. There's a version of Seek & Destroy with Chuck Billy on Vocals.

Muzz Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome to the Elevator From He11.... OH THE HORROR!!! Richard Cheese I just got it, Dimarrzioooo................ Freekin sweet. Just had a weird 30 minutes, I have got the wired pickguard in, the geet is lying on my desk and I tested it by connecting to the amp, buzz buzz buzz, like a hoard of vuvuzelas, I tested all my connections, couldn't work out what was going on. Then I was holding the guitar cord in one hand and moved my other hand towards the desk, the buzz increased. My desk has a metal frame and was causing the noise, as soon as I took the geetar off the desk, the noise vanished. Crisis over. Put in the trem craw (it's not the craw, it's the craw!) it's late, time to stop. Barring any complications this instrument is gonna be finished by Saterday arvo, touch wood.

Akula Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Okay thats pretty cool. I love the finish, I love the way the Floyd Rose grabs your attention, the scratchplate actually works really well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Only thing I dont like is the fact that this thread is gona end now But realy cool guitar muzz, im in the process of ripping off your colour scheme even as I type this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Petrucci Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Good job Muzz. Thats one really clean guitar built by a fellow Aussie! Where abouts in Aus are you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops1983 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Nice Muzz! It looks really good mate, Lovin it! For a bit of contrast, black knobs and pickups would look very cool with the pearl pickguard aswell, it would pick up the grain in that ash. Why does the thread have to stop just keep posting and make it bigger than the sustainer thread. Edited June 26, 2010 by chops1983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Looks really good Definatly liking the blue finihs btw. I guess when they say good things come with time they weren't joking Thanks, the other colour I was thinking about was a golden oak, but looking at it now I am glad I went with the blue. Okay thats pretty cool. I love the finish, I love the way the Floyd Rose grabs your attention, the scratchplate actually works really well... You know I was going off the idea of the plate at this point my first design wasn't suiting it, but when I did a design with a pointy bit for the knobs and switch, it became a must have for me. The plate was the third part of the build on this guitar, it took a while and they are unforgiving if you make a slip. I made a black felt mat for the trem cavity, I never thought I would shop in Spotlight craft store for guitar parts Only thing I dont like is the fact that this thread is gona end now But realy cool guitar muzz, im in the process of ripping off your colour scheme even as I type this Good times. Hey that's great about the colour scheme, I think I did mine a little different I'll go and hijack your thread to show you some inbetween steps Good job Muzz. Thats one really clean guitar built by a fellow Aussie! Hey another Aussie on board, I made nearly all my mistakes on my MDF model, you should see that poor abused piece of material, I shudder when I look at it to think how this wouldn't have turned out without the practice on the prototype first. Nice Muzz! It looks really good mate, Lovin it! For a bit of contrast, black knobs and pickups would look very cool with the pearl pickguard aswell, it would pick up the grain in that ash. Why does the thread have to stop just keep posting and make it bigger than the sustainer thread. I did put a couple a black SC pickup cover in the pickguard at one point to see what it looks like, yep you are right it does look good, I see you are into the Mr Potato Head style of guitar blinging too. Or I could just start building another guitar in this thread I have quite a few parts left over . Just joking, but I do have to still post some sounds.

Should i take that as a compliment Yes, I love to treat my guitars like Mr. Potato head and just swap a pup, knobs, pickguard etc. Can't wait for Toy Story 3. Threads of Life cd!!!!! That CD is on heavy repeat for me! Aussie and a shadows fall fan!! Oh yeah, that CD went around a few times while I was planning and making this guitar, tell everyone to go and listen to "Redemption' that song just sends me to a happy place. Good times.

Great, your Satchmo looked fantastic in the black stain, my guitar body looked like one of those sculptures that you used to make at school, where you burnt it with a blow torch and then wire brushed it.
