Retrosonix Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi all, happy new year - i hope nearly finished this for my youngest son, he is a big john petrucci fan and wanted me to build him something similar to johns musicman guitar. it was a real challenge as this is only my 5th or 6th proper build and only the 3rd time ive done a spray finish. the paint is a color shift spray (neptune, i think, it was pretty bloody expensive) neck wood is roasted sycamore with a flamed roasted sycamore fretboard. body is ash. 2020 really sucked arse in so many ways but i did enjoy any time i spent on this project and my boy is really keen for me to finish this and let him have it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a temporary cover of maple but i have some roasted sycamore offcuts that match the neck with which i am going to make a proper cover from , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
