Hello there Softies. Just wanna tell you about my Mattocaster Replica Custom Guitar. My guitar is actually an Yamaha Pacifica 120 S. But we called it Yamaha Pacifica Stealth. My brother, cousin and me had already plan for this project as we are fans of Muse and wanted to try it out. I have seen many people built the guitar in Youtube. Their ones are more similar to Matt Bellamy's Guitar. But currently, our guitar is made out of Black Manson and Lazer Manson Guitar.

We started the project with cutting the horn of the guitar to sharp horn like MB guitar. My cousin cuts the horn at D&T workshop in his school. Then we bought an mirror acryclic long ago. So he cuts it to the shape like where the Black Manson gold pickguard where it has the wah probe inside. Thats the shape. But we extend more and it will look like the Lazer Manson pickguard. Its not the same as there were knobs and 3 way switch.

Weeks later, we dismentle all pickups,screws,knobs and etc that was attached at the guitar. And so we painted the guitar Matt Black like Black Manson at below the block. Its hard to paint as the paint wont be permanently. We hard to paint more layers to it. After that, we 'dull lacquer' it. And also we 'clear lacquer' the neck. Few days later, we did the same thing so that the paint like wont fade.

We did the best we could. And this is all we can do. The picturesill be below pic by pic :D
