My new project, it's a "Jem" of a guitar

[GAR]

Yeah, go ahead and get started on GAyR's plywood Charvette replica...

Charvette body, Jackson jap neck and not a bad player.

I could think of a worse buys for the $80 bucks I have into it, it's one of 30 junkers I should ditch on ebay ..

If I see someone playing MY guitar out, he'll be the one calling the cops because I can and would serve a beat down like it's nobody's business. I repo my own stuff.

What if some guy truly bought your stolen guitar off the street for $100 bucks? Then you've got an innocent victim of assault at your expense, that's not gonna work.

I've thought all that thru before, when I saw my guitars being sold all over Vegas. Think I didn't think of that - when it comes right down to it that bullshit doesn't work, it's a civil matter that's clouded with posession rights.

THIS is why Im saying, parts guitars need some kind of a name and serial number that can be listed. Not because you chose do copy a jap guitar design.. I'm never jealous of that, to me it's a waste of time when you could design your own thing..

I've got a cool idea I'm flushing out for an original build. It is going to be themed on a car. I want it to have racing stripes down the center and gray and red primer showing through like it was a hot rod clunker. I see a lot of hot rodders build the engine first and paint later, so they are driving these bondo filled primered cars that look like shit but run like hell. I want to translate that into a guitar. I want to put some original 1967 Camaro badges on it. I've got the cursive Camaro logo from the front quarter panel and also the Camaro by Chevrolet trunk lid emblem as well as the 350 badge. Both would look cool. Also trying to figure out how to wire gauges into the body, maybe even a voltmeter. But the more I think about it, it would be cool to have a Trans Am themed body too with the firebird decal over the entire body. Black and gold colors. I've done originals before, I like originals and clones.

You're thinking of the "Rat Rod" movement going on right now.. 50's-60's trashy chic performance.

[indeedido]

Not sure what that means

All belonging to someone else, no doubt.

I have a bunch of trim off cars from the 50s thru 70s. I'll look and see if I can come up with something unique for you.

If you find an armrest for a 72 AMC Hornet, I need one to spruce up my Fernandes strat copy headstock..

Back on topic again, pickguard wired up. Let me say this was the biggest pain in the ass. The Ibanez switch is so complex and so small. I do not ever want to do this again! Back of the pickguard covered in shielding foil.

[indeedido]

And finally, new guitar day! All wired up and put together. Ain't she purdy. I did a quick set up just to be sure it all worked. Need to adjust the action and truss rod once the tension takes hold. Plays great even before a real setup.

I'll offer no electrical tips on straightening out that bird-nest of a wiring job. That's hopeless!

[indeedido]

It's not really as bad as it looks. There is just a lot of coil tapping going on. I wound the wires together prior to putting into the cavity. No biggie.

[kwame k]

Fucking looks sweet, dude!
