tpurgatoryt Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Ever get sick of your boring old guitar? Well i sure did! Added the vines of life and humbucker covers. Oddly enough the covers have barely effected the sound at all. and the vines of life fret inlays are actually decals but they are so thin that when you play you cant feel them and they are so strong that constant playing doesnt damage them.

RaSTuS Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Always wondered how those stick ons would hold up, look like a very classy SG now, that's for sure, well done mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They far surpassed my expectations. I can hammer at the fret board and not a nick or rip on them, theyre great. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have LOTS of patience, and it shows. Stellar work on the "inlays" - or should they be called "outlays"? HOW LONG did the project take??? AND, out of curiosity, how did you attach your HB Covers? I added a couple of "+" to your effort. Deserves to be recognized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserves to be recognized! aw thanks the "outlays" took about 30 minutes to put on, could of done them quicket but i wanted to be fairly carefull. The HB covers were simple, took them out, lay a soft cloth on the top of the guitar, used a sort of silicone (fairly unorthodox, but it works, i've seen others who have done it) and then put pressurized rubber nubbed clamps on them to hold the covers to the pickups and let the silicone cure for a few days.

RaSTuS Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The covers are usually soldered to the chassis of the pickup, your way is much easier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 OK - I, too have seen HB covers attached with Silcone instead of Resoldering. Defitely thinking outside the box, so to speak. Just gotta get creative sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 and not only because it is black ROFPML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It is absoloutly stunning. You should do another SG in black, with the same kind of inlays but in a gold colour, and have gold hardware aswell. That would be art more than a musical instrument.
