Don't know if this counts as a build or not, but I just finished a paint job on a Dean Dave Mustaine Signature V.
Paint is all House of Kolors...
KK-11 Kandy Red over BC-02 Silver, (The red looks much deeper and darker in person, the lighting is off in these pics)
S2-25 Black, (looks dusty in the photos, but thats a gold metallic I added to the paint)
and BC-01-4 Solar Gold.

All topped with USC-01 Show Klear (5 coats)

Now just to assemble it.
Stock pickups (DMT Design)
Basswood body
Bolt on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard

I'd like to swap out the pickups, but I don't know if its worth it or not. This guitar will likely end up in the Trading Post section or on eBay very soon.

I'd like some thoughts and opinions....

Dilled out the boring white dots



Removed the frets, and installed orange dots to match the electronics

I call this one my Ping-RS lol.

Not really a build, but thought it came out alright. I picked this fake up just to fulfill a santana gas phase I had going. Replaced everything but the wood. Plays okay, sounds like nothing particularly special, but it works lol. It's in drop d and I'm slamming a good amount of gain into it from an ISP Theta. Gets the job done. I forgot how much of a pain a floyd can be haha.

^^ Yo, that's a killer top/finish. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Got any plans (pickups, neck, hardware) yet?

I've got a sentient/pegasus set for the pickups.

I'm trying to decide if I want to use a Schaller Hannes bridge or not. if I do, I'll be able to go with all Scahller hardware and use that cool vintage copper finish they have.

If not that, then I'll go with hipshot hardware. I'd like to use something cool-looking like brushed chrome or satin - straight glossy black or chrome just seems too ordinary for this build.

Just starting in this walnut/pine tele. Gonna drop a custom custom in there I think

Beautiful grain in that walnut, Loversmoon. That'll take a finish nicely.

Extra points for the wood control cover!

Nice man, I'd go with the vintage copper finish. Is your body chambered as well? Can't wait for the update pics

Nope - not chambered. I was going over budget as is with the finish.

Currently working on a Tele project: Chunky C Roasted Maple Neck with 9.5" Radius and an Alder body in off white. Pickups are Revel Black Watch with UOA5 and Degaussed A5 magnets.
