[RicFreak]

Thanks bro. Anyway, these are the current progress of it with some lacquer. almost emptied a can and still no signs of the fabric texture going away... considering doing some black burst to hide the un-evenness sides. what do u think?

Wahhhh! Ah Huay damn SWEEEE man !!!!
Great job. Looks like we've already got a winner.

[obzervr]

Hmmm...

Am I interested? Yes. This One

Do I need One Now? No.

What to do?

1) Buy Now Regret Later
2) Buy Later Regret Later (this situation is when I get to see fgl, eieio& faizalrocks pose their spanking new allparts neck, then decide to buy)
3) Buy Now, Keep and force out a new project, and keep the project guitar because 'it is so unique' (I said that 7 projects ago)
4) Buy Now, Keep and try to sell the neck later in black market or sungei road (because no need commercial permit)
5) None of the above... move back to photography and get that Lumix GH1 finally!
6) .... (Still thinking)

Maybe should start a poll.

the neck is U la obsvr ...

closing date: today
closing time: 2359hrs

eieio -have U decided yet?

 

[obzervr]

fgl bro, I think I'll pass this time round... still saving up for that elusive Lumix GH1 + 14-140 lens (ergghhh... I should have listened to my grand mother not to pick up expensive hobbies and the ugly thing about Digicams is that in a few months newer models will appear and pretty soon, the whole media format replaced so... no choice, have to upgrade system or stay indoors and do project guitar again).

 

[fgl]

obzevr .. no prob dude ....

EIEO ... WHERE ARE YOU? FASTER DECIDE LAH ...

BTW I did a quick test order - the cost saved for shipping two or more necks is definatly worth it .. big savings indeed ...

Bro. Also my first time ah...
2 advise if u wanna try.
1. Dare to screw up.
2. Trial and error.

LOL.

Practice on a piece of scrap plastic. Yes, it's a different material so your surface prep would differ from wood. However, from there, the fundamentals of painting and fnishing are the same.

"Lotus" Tele

Dear Softies,


I am doing this rework for someone very special in my life...I wanted this guitar to age together with my soon to be BB girl....delivering in May.

After a month of frantic rework, painting and polishing, I would like to introduce my humble repaint of a Squire California Tele.

I got my inspiration from a wall painting.





It consists of oil painting with a tinge of traditional chinese painting style and
so I copied the concept and explore further.
Copying the texture of canvas, oil and watercolor with a final coat of clear lacquer....


So here it is..."Lotus" Telecaster.....

 

[obzervr]

Wah! this one got auction Value! Beautifully complementing the original painting for room decor. MF Scenes suddenly came to mind. Congratulations on the expected coming of your BB Girl! You got my vote already for 'dedication of meaning' and 'meaning of dedication'.

hi guys,

I can see this amazing effort you guys are putting up! It rocks!
Keep it up!
