NGD - (Almost) Completed FRANKENPAUL

[nightfall]

Soooo I had this crappy kit laying around and I thought, why not, I have enough spare parts, lets throw it together. I recarved the heel and the weird shape is a result of my various experimenting. Well here is the body, half finished. Sorry for the bad pictures!

I actually dig the shape!

Not sure about the white finish (?) on the top though.

Dont worry! Like I said its (half) finished so it will get cleaned up. I personally dig the white, i realize it looks weird, but so does the whole thing!

It had some really pretty flame maple actually! There are some great kits out there with some really gorgeous wood under $200

Where did you get that for $200?!

Too bad you chopped it up. It could have been a nice looking build.

I actually got it for $150 off ebay! And yeah i was experimenting a little too much hehe Oh well, it will make a cool metal-style guitar with the Dimebucker pup I have for it

I guess for $150 it can't hurt to do a little experimenting........................I said a LITTLE.

Put the first coat of tung oil on the unpainted parts, will post more pics when i get home. I've received my Hipshot Baby Grand which I have never tried before. It looks pretty sweet! No shaking parts, looks really good quality. I can't wait to get it installed. Also on the way is my Dimebucker which I am also trying for the first time.
