Fire Sale VW body arrived....

[thepriebster]

Do you hang em on the walls or on guitar stands or what? and how many do you have?

 

[jackthehack]

Guitar stands 12 done, this one almost done, 2 waiting warmer weather to finish lacquer finishing and the VW waiting on a neck; 16 in total, plus 4 non-Warmoth electrics and an Ovation koa acoustic/electric

 

[thepriebster]

I think you have more guitars than the ma and pa music store down the street from me  :laughing7:

 

[ragn kagn]

ok, thats exactly what im lookin for seriously would you be intrested in selling that body?

 

[jackthehack]

nope

 

[jackthehack]

Gave up on waiting for the SHPR-1s to ship; just got a Rio Grande Big Bottom sets and the rest of the body parts in today; going to coil tap both PUs using 500K push/push vol/tone pots; pix later...

 

[jackthehack]

Now, the 4 week or so wait for the canary/jet black ebony neck...

 

[RLW]

Wow! That looks SO right.

 

[Ted]

Love jacks posts.

 

[spauldingrules]

no pickup selector?

 

[jackthehack]

All black 3 way toggle; still making my mind up where to drill the hole; for some reason Warmoth didn't want to do what I wanted...

 

[jackthehack]

All finished up/wired here, switch installed; decided not to but a tremolo cover on it; so tried that new Krylon Fusion "sticks to anything without primer" to paint the exposed guts black; stuff really works as can be seen below....

 

[dbw]

Yeah, looks pretty good... did you paint the springs?  Hard to tell from the pic.

 

[jackthehack]

Yes, but it's gloss black and reflected the flash

 

[Shmoopie]

how did you do the bridge ground?

can you solder to the paint, or did you solder then paint?

 

[jackthehack]

Soldered, then painted the claw

 

[jackthehack]

Just got QuantumView on canary/ebony neck; that was quick, ordered it 12 Feb; should be in Monday; can't wait to hear this Big Bottom RG set...

 

[dbw]

Cool, canary will look awesome with that... hey, what ever happened to that block-inlay neck in the background of the first picture??  Looks like mahogany/rosewood, maybe?

 

[jackthehack]

Going on a VIP with a '58 Gibson sunburst finish, but it has to get warm enough to spray lacquer

 

[sundin4prez]

jack , did you ever finish the tele/les paul goldtop??
