thinking about painting the front of the headstock black and doing a black stinger on the back of the headstock....

 

[BRENTrocks]

Well, I don’t think I’ll be getting job as a guitar painter anytime soon.

The transition is a little abrupt but for your first rodeo it's a solid attempt so don't feel bad. The stinger was a nice touch. I figured you'd probably have to give it two or three tries to start approximating a factory burst. Considering the $ you have into the project I think what you got will do nicely IMO.

 

[BRENTrocks]

I fixed it. Kinda.

 

[BRENTrocks]

I call it

THE HOUSE FIRE BURST

I’m actually pretty happy with the house fire burst

I’ve decided on pickups for this build

Seymour Duncan SH-12 George Lynch Screaming Demon in the bridge

Seymour Duncan Seth Lover in the neck

I’m waiting on the Tonepros wraparound bridge I ordered.

Waiting for the humidity to come down so I can start spraying clear.
