Mike's only requests were the interesting shape (based on one of his doodles), and no scratchplate. Otherwise I had free reign.
The body is made of tulip wood, completely hand-cut. I got the Stagg neck off E-bay, for about 30 quid, and altered the headstock to resemble another doodle of Mike's.
Love at first sight. |
After an undercoating and rubbing down, a pleasing shade of pink was added to the whole body and headstock. After a considering amount of polishing off, both Mike and I were completely satisfied.
The satisfied man. |
The final asembly all together and set up. As you can see, the pick up covers were also sprayed pink, as was the toggle of the 3-way switch.
A perxpex cover was made for covering the internals.
Here are a few more detailled shots of the finished guitar.
The money shot. |
