angry_jeremy Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 So...I'm buying a junky Slammer Explorer off a buddy of mine for $50 and I'm wondering what kind of fun I can have with it. As I recall, the neck isn't bad, the tuners and pup's suck. For $50 though, you can't go wrong Random crazy mods wanted...Ready? GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolley a little too pricey for a poor student like me then print it out and stick on/varnish over the top (material finish) if you need a hi resolution version of it, just let me know and i can get in touch with the artist...which would involve talking to myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Forstner bit a bunch of holes, about 1/4" deep (completely cover the body or as close to it as possible), epoxy in a bunch of those googly eyes, and fill in with epoxy, and sand flat, buff, etc. Here's lookin at you, angry!

angry_jeremy Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 which would involve talking to myself I've heard that can be dangerous I wonder if you could get it printed big enough to fit over the whole body (they're kinda large) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost in Guitar land Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Recipe for a Killer Explorer:- Strip it! Sand it! Stain it! Route it and fit a floyd ! Fit locking nut! Varnish with clear coat! Put a pair a Dimarzio's in there (you choose which) There you have it! Not too much money spent and a killer guitar as a result!!!

angry_jeremy Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 While they're all mesmerised, you tell them about the t-shirts, CD's, useless paraphenalia on sale for inflated prices...ha! They will be my personal army. Quite useful for getting rid of unwanted persons or for cleaning up the dog's crap. It's win/win really. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
