Guitar build 4! Very much a work in progress, hey, I've been busy! :turtle:
Guitarbuild.co.uk body, 'Black friday' sale, with wudtone T-bird finish with more coats of the gold top coat than what was strictly neccary gives it a almost but not quite Sea Foam Green colo(u)r.
First 2 coats
Finished the coats, it's no-where near this blue in real life
Gold Original Floyd Rose term on order, the Gotoh machine heads have turned up, and looks the gold with paint job is a good match.
For the neck I was thinking of a Rosted maple stat with bloodwood fretboard, with AVO frets and Arizonian turquoise inlays, possibly not the most tasteful, but..
Still thinking about a Sustainer/sustainic, after my first (non-bass) guitar build was rather traditional F*nder Esquire sort of thing, I wanted to go bang up to date, Floyd Rose, possibly EMGs etc.
It is still 1981 isn't it?
