Custom Built Guitars Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 just a low budget " I need to build a new guitar " build. 14k Epiphone humbucker that I potted this past winter. Badass style bridge off fleabay, GFS neck, spezel style tuners. 11 to 50 GHS strings. I put a treble bleed on the volume pot, and an oil filled cap I had on the tone. Full of tone (s). Roll down the volume and the tone cleans up nicely. The tone pot sounds amazing with the cap I had lying around. 1 piece poplar body. Now thats what I needed. I tend to play more after I build myself a new guitar. Hard to put it down.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAK Guitars Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Cool I really like that. Looks like a pickle or something. How's that GFS neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Built Guitars Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Cool I really like that. Looks like a pickle or something. How's that GFS neck? I find the neck very comfortable. Thankfully it has jumbo frets. It needed A LOT of leveling. Now that the frets are leveled, crowned and polished, it's good. Out of the box.... not so much. But for the price, and a little time.... it is a nice neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAK Guitars Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah thats what I figured. What did you use as the green finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Built Guitars Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah thats what I figured. What did you use as the green finish? The green is arts and crafts water based acrilic, wiped on, and back off. 2 coats. I just use it as a stain. Topcoated with deft laquer sprayed from a cheap gravity feed hvlp. When I put new strings on it, I'll rub it out, to bring up a little more gloss. It still has that new guitar smell to it......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
