Description Hmm, yeah. I bought a guitar just because, and I took it apart and decided to sand it down and repaint it with some stencilling and add some new parts. So yeah. It was originally blue, as I remember.... but I think I rushed it a bit, and the laquer I used was quite cheap, so its not amazing or anything, but I like it so alls good
I stencilled Sid Vicious, Sex Pistols bassist on the back, just because I could

Is it supposed to be all marbled like that? If so, how'd you do it? If not, well I think it looks better than it would have completely solid gray.

And where did you get the stencils?

wow...it looks really great...kind of rough, but i guess, that just gives it a soul that none of factory guitars have...
....i really think about doing the same thing on my FAKEstratocaster XP

oh, i was just wandering, what kind of pickups did you get and how difficult was all the soldering and stuff

hey thanks, i've had to resolder the original pickups back on cos there was a problem with the ones i was gonna get- when i cut the wires, it was pretty difficult to resolder them because each wire had two seperate wires inside it, which i didn't really expect so i got my bf to do it for me, haha.

but yeah, its a fun project to do, but i bought a cheap guitar that didn't mean anything to me personally, so i didn't mess my good ones up lol. i think i got that one for about £40 in total, so not too bad! you could airbrush some awesome stuff on it XD

well, yeah, i intended to airbrush something on it....
...and add like 2 humbuckers(even though one would do it, since i play only on neck pickup), get rid of tone knobs and maybe get a two way switch or someting...so i intend to make new pickguard and also paint it(i intend to use transparent plastic, so i would paint only the inside part and flip it around XP)...well pickguard will be interesting thing to do, since i think about making it, so it would cover most of the frontside of guitar(and look like one peace i guess..)..so that would be my plan........

......the problem is, i don't really know what to paint on it...sheesh .: ......got an idea?

ooof good plans, and theres so many choices of what to do
well i'm really into punk myself, if i were to do mine again i'd go a bit more crazy on that theme, but i guess you can go more overboard with airbruhing, compared to my crappy stencilling! should look awesome
what bands are you into?

yaay, just finished with taking my guitar apart and a friend said i can have his 'buckers when he changes his

to the topic - oh well...there's a lot of stenciling in airbrushing....just i little less of the conventional one, and with a lot more freehanding.....but yes...details are much easier to get with airbrush

well yeah....music is good
hmm...i'm a big fan of Glenn Danzig, and his creations with Danzig, and of course Misfits......there's also quite a lot of metal that i listen(type o negative, arch enemy, nevermore, ...)since i was/am metalhead for a lot of years now.......also quite some HC(comeback kid, bane,...)some japanese metal bands(big fan of dir en grey )also some industrial, trance, but lately just a lot of metalcore, post hc(omg, i'm EMO ) and of course quite some punk(black flag, old AFI-first 3 records, bad religion,...) and a bunch of horror punk bands as well......well, that was a rough description

what about your taste?

Awesome, pretty fantastic music taste lol. Myself it ranges from Punk- the proper meaningful sort, to hardcore/ska/folk/indie, my fave bands currently being Against Me (the older albums) Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Bad Religion etc. but I give everything a go!

Looks really cool. I think it's ironic, however, that you have Sid Vicious on a musical instrument although he could not play one.

Fucking awesome.



I actually think the "rushing" made it look even better. Punk is supposed to be rough and crude, right?

Haha thanks, I wish I'd just spent a bit more time on it, to do it properly and all. Cos I got bored of waiting for each layer of paint to dry
