Fire Sale VW body arrived....

[jackthehack]

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

Nope; that's waiting on warmer weather as well...

 

[jackthehack]

Finally got custom canary/jet black ebony neck in; the canary's actually a bit lighter than the pics with some nice red streaking... I screwed up ordering the PW tuners and have a set of 6 lefts I'll have to use on another build (already planned half-ass), so I'll have to wait till next week to finish the build...

That Jet Black Ebony fretboard looks bad ass.  :headbang1:

 

[jackthehack]

I think once it's all together it will definitely shred...

 

[Shmoopie]

Well, a little more setup work - Wilkinson is not playing nice this a.m. - and it'll be ready for the Showcase with this one:

 

[Nando Vallart]

Really nice!

I did not expect to like this guitar or finish. Surprise... I think it works for me partly because of the matte black on the RG pups matching the black of the (looks like) ebony board.

That Canary neck is a perfect choice!

It has some nice red streaking on the back that doesn't show up well in the pic.

Very nice axe you got thar..... :headbang1:

Is it me or are those pole pieces in the RG's quite chunky?

Just to be cliched i'd put Zebras in there!

Very nice build though.  :icon_biggrin:

That's the "Big Bottom" set, Tallboy in neck and Muy Grande in bridge, the Muy Grande the heaviest HB I've ever held in my hand...

Check out the heftiness of a Duncan Invader....I think it added about 4lbs to my VW....
