Hello fellow project guitar forum members,this is my first post here but I,unlike soem newbies have spent a fair amount of time reading other tutorials,articles and questions to avoid me asking some obvious ones. Anyways my plan is to convert an old beatdown 1980's washburn superstrat(s/s/h with no routes from a previously installed washburn wonderbar unit,set neck,22 fret rosewood fretboard,grover tuners,pics to come when i have a couple minutes). I plan to strip the current black finish and paint it green with black tiger stripes.
Hardware
-black pickguard
-green pickup covers
-green knobs and switch tip
-dimarzio evolution/paf/fred in the bridge (im still undecided)
-hopefully a recessed floyd rose(if there is enough wood to route everything out)if not I will use a strat style hardtail bridge in black)
-im also planning to shield the pickup cavities and control cavity and do the bridge/neck mod for using the bridge and neck pickup at the same time
(btw the 2 single coils will be the 2 stock washburn pickups that are in it until I have more money,im only 15 and dont have a job...yet)
Any feedback,ideas and comments are appreciated,this is my first project and the guitar was cheap so this is also kind of experimental.
As soon as I get a photobucket account or something I will post my computer generated plan and pictures of the guitar in its current state.
