Relic Esquire Build Started

[Sarge]

I recently purchased this body from Mark mjtagedfinishes.com It is very nice and those guys are very cool!

It is a Daphne Blue relic. I specified medium aged with minimal yellowing.
The body seems light and I can't wait to see what this guitar is like put together.

Here is the 2 photos that was sent to me by MJT
NOT MY PICTURES OR MY UGLY CARPET!!!!




The neck is going to be a USACG Rosewood c- shaped neck. It's a compound 7.25 to 9.5 Radius.

The pickup is going to be a Don Mare Stingray 3 Speed pickup.

I have had all the parts sitting around here for awhile and instead of getting off my ass and doing an assembly... I sent it to the guy at kingbeeguitars.com to put it together.
Should be here is a few weeks.

Buh-bye...

[ELVIS]

No, I really do like it...

It's not overdone at all...

I was just checking out his website...I might give him a call about refinishing my stripped 1955 Strat neck...

[Sarge]

Buh-bye...

For those that were wondering.. the guy got a ban for posting links to perscription medicine.

Breasts,
Sarge

I think it's a weird color.
We will see how it works out.
The guy that is doing the rest has been giing me a real headache.
Breasts,

Is this the same place that painted the LPB Tele in your other thread ??

Daphne Blue is a really hard color to nail.

The hardest is that see-thru aged butterscotch, I finally got with House of Kolor Aztec Gold Candy, with about 8:1 mix of Deft semi-clear lacquer lightly with about 2 coats before a shitload of clear.

Lake Placid blue is a nice one too. Mary Kaye white is my #1 favorite, more than the 70's aged Sherwin Williams plain white (which is aged clear over the white going yellow)

Sometimes you go to get paint custom matched, and the guy is a dipshit and insists it's the color you brought a sample of. Sometimes you luck out and get an older guy who can do it by eye, and just nail it. Color is always always different every single time they pour it.
