Clone Guitars #004…Major 80’s flashback…

WARNING some will love this some will hate it some will be 50/50 on it…if you don’t like it it’s fine by me since I do (see signature LOL)…but please be respectful and move along, no need for negative posts!!

Now on to the fun stuff…

The body for Clone #004 arrived today from my painter. I opened the box and was floored, this kandy pink is INSANE in person, my pics do it no justice at all, it’s got a nice amount of metal flake to it and is real deep and rich in person. The body for this project is a 1pc mahogany Wayne body…hence the funky Wayne style control layout and not the typical Charvel placement of knob and toggle that I usually use. It’s actually real comfortable where it is and never in the way. The neck is a nice clean grain ¼ sawn maple and the back shape is very similar to my real Wayne #248 which is great since I love that neck! 15” radius, 1 11/16” nut, 2 ¼” heel. Original floyd rose trem, Gotoh tuners, CTS 500K pot, all black toggle switch, Dimarzio FRED in the bridge and Duncan Hot Rails in the neck…actually makes a great combo from the little test playing I did to test it out. The guitar is still not 100% done, it needs to go to my luthier for the usual fret level and dress all the Clones get and then she’ll be rockin’ I figured since it was all together now I’d snap some pics for you guys!!

*edit* guitar now has a duncan JB in the bridge.

Well, say hello to Clone #004 aka Pinky…

the color is a much more rich and deep metallic/candy pink that is hard to get pics of. it's actually darker too. i'll take some outside tomorrow if anyone wants to see it better/more true to what it is in person.


Spandex NOT included!!

OUTDOOR PICS...this is a bit closer to the actual color but still off a bit...man this thing is a pain to take pics of LOL...

Totally awesome. People will probably post crap anyway, but they all suck. :fing25:

Re: Clone Guitars #004…Major 80’s flashback…

needs single coils a MOP pickguard and some other kind of bridge. A few more knobs too... (I enjoy the fact that no one ever shares my opinions, so you all feel free to disagree) :)

But love the color :D At least you got that right. That and you've progressed to having a neck pickup :laugh2:

seriously. I like it.

Just a question, would the luthier you get all these from be able to make a 7?

Freaking LOVE IT Mike! :bigthumb:

I happen to think pinks and seafoams and daphnes and oranges and neon yellows and stuff look incredible on some guitars as long as it's an elegant and simple lined instrument..which your clones are. I also loved that pink Destroyer/Iceman that watkins built...:bowdown:

Mahogany body....maple neck and board...hmmm... that should be chunky and snappy at the same time. Only thing *I* would change is the bridge pup as I'm not a fan of that particular DiMarzio (and how does it balance out with the Hot Rails?).

I'll give ya Two-Fiddy Fo It!

I think that might get you prepped for the paint or possibly the neck.

Re: Clone Guitars #004…Major 80’s flashback…

It's time to make a white one and call it "Brain"...LOL. That is hot lookin', Mike. I'm curious how it will look outside with natural light.

"Say, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
"Same thing we do everynight, Pinky.....try to take over the WORLD!!!"

:laugh2:
