Thundergod Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well as i said in my last thread about the first electric i owned, i am refinishing her (almost done), and i think i made a horrible terrible mistake... lets see if one of you finds out... Here are some more pics... i just finished with the electronics, now is time to set her up, with luck shell be ready to play tonight. Feel free to post any comments and critics... but please dont make fun of me, it is after all the first time i engage in something like this... Look at the reflection of the 9V battery (and my shoe) on the floor!!! ...well... any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Looks really good man! The only mistake I can tell you made was.... not sending it to me! Turned out great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGod319 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 uuhhhh..............you painted over the brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_Of_Control Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I don't see anything horrible. If you like it, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSixx Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It appears that you forgot to mask "Epiphone" =(. Well tell people you "censored" the logo. Hey it may not be to late to fix. Besides that it looks great. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Thundergod, if I ever see that guitar on eBay with a Gibson logo on it................ Honestly, I like the back of the guitar WAY more than the front. I like how you burst the back of the body, neck and head. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 ...dont worry tim, i want to put an epi logo but in gold, and a little threehorn (asatru symboll) where the word "special" was... oh and an "E" like the ones on old epis on the pickguard... would that be a little cheesy? ...so nobody noticed... shall i tell?

It's definately not something easily visable, so, it probably wouldn't even matter. You did very well, by the way, it looks gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSixx Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 No clear coat on the headstock ? Well in the picture it's not as shiny it may have clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 i took the pics wiht my cell phone so they arent very good... hey Tim, does gold hardware, black rings and EMGs have anything to do with you liking the back better? i cant believe nobody noticed... so it may not have been such a terrible mistake... i know a lot of people dont like the shape of epiphone headstocks (ok, i just went up and said it...)

cudamax2343 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hey Thundergod real good job, I'm impressed. Tell me what did you use 81/85's or 81/60's and what kind of bridge and tail peice is that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 hey Tim' date=' does gold hardware, black rings and EMGs have anything to do with you liking the back better? [/quote']EMG's are cool. (No comment on the rest ) No, I just like the way you did it...instead of just painting the back one colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what did you use 81/85's or 81/60's and what kind of bridge and tail peice is that[/quote'] 81/85 the zakk wylde set actually... has been on the guitar for 4 years now... the bridge and stop tail are schaller (roller bridge and fine tunning tailpiece), but they fit gibson and epi without any mods.

Thundergod Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks a lot for all your comments guys, i'm really proud of her... now i can have her next to my gibby without felling bad for her! =P~/ i think she will be a fine backup guitar if i ever play live again... Thanks again for all your comments. here's before and after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibis Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 When you puttin' the stripes back on man? Don't look finished without them! Also, why didn't you cut the headstock into an open book shape (Gibson style) and put a Gibson logo on it? -- ibis aka Devil's Advocate! >:-) Great job, regardless of first effort; really pro!

Thundergod Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 a gun i borrowed from a friend... very easy to use... i started with a can but ended up sanding all that and doing it wit the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKingN Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I think it would be cool if you put the Epiphone Masterbilt type logo on it. With the upper case E and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
