Like a superstrat, but with a superior body. This plan for a neon pink jazzmaster with a floyd has been really banging around my head since some time last June . . . but I started putting together parts for it around November.
Started with this 3 lb chunk of ash . . . but don't worry, you'll never see any of that ugly wood colour/pattern again:
Been waiting for the weather to get nice enough to paint the body in the garage (picked up all the paint and clearcoat I think I'll need before lockdown started fortunately). Spent about a month prepping the body . . . basically sanding down the neck heel joint and grain filling like crazy. It took about 9 coats of grain filler followed by sanding to get the guitar mostly smooth.
Primer on (three coats, at least 48 hrs between them):
Neon on (done today - and it's very neon):
Had a friend cut an aluminum trem cover a few months back, and am painting that to match the body as well. You can see it on the washing machine in the laundry room.
Next I'll need to spray a couple coats of clear, sand, coats of clear. Then the polishing.
At the rate it has been going, I should have the whole guitar done some time in June. :P
