Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!
That bass does look very cool. I'm embarrassed to post mine right after that one.
I wanted to get in on the relic craze now that it's over and considered lame. Just kidding. Actually, I've wanted to do a relic style guitar for a while, and I just like finding the pieces and putting them together. So I bought a candy apple red Fender Road Worn Player body, and a maple Road Worn Neck off of eBay and the project has begun.
I bought the body bare and bought the hardware separately. Everything was new looking so I tried aging some stuff. I used printed circuit board etching fluid. Here is how the neck plate came out: . It's hard to see in a cell phone picture, but some of the shine is off the chrome, and some pitting has started. I like they way it came out. Now I'm at a stand still. I ran out of money. I'm two pay checks away from a loaded D. Allen pick guard wired Eric Johnson/Jimmie Vaughan style, loaded with his Flat50's pickups on to a 1 ply parchment guard. Should be cool when it's all done.

It's not a bass ,it's an 8 string fanned fret guitar ,25.5" - 27",

Working on this for a mate ,he doesn't like the thickness of his Jackson COW 7 string plus he wants a different headstock and plain maple board .It's African Mahogany with Maple stripes ,It's in the clamps overnight while the epoxy sets ,I love these Gotoh truss rodsLast edited by ChAoZ; 06-28-2014, 09:59 PM.
