Hey everyone!
I recently finished my partscaster made from an old RG421 body and 90s Harper neck. What do you think? Painted it black with a pearl golden finish.
There was quite some work to be done, but just to name a few things I did: Fixed the trussrod, complete fret job, fixed body damage, chizeled new pickup cavities, modified neck shape, installed fluorescent side dots, complete new paint job and so on..
It certainly has some flaws like the scratches on the front that doesn’t seem to polish out and a few nicks here and there, but I‘m absolutely satisfied with the overall result!
I Learned quite a thing or two throughout the process and already began working on another guitar, but this time with a body built from scratch. Hopefully this time without messing up the paint job, lol.
Hope you like it!
I like it, gold and black is always a nice combo. Quite the list of fixes and mods, never heard about fluorescent side dots. Sounds cool.
Thank you! I‘ve been trying to post more pictures but it seems like Lemmy only allows one per comment. Anyway, here is another one that shows more of the color effect:
The reflection looks really nice, the guitar is starting to have the feel of a dark, modern version of the classic gold tops.
