IT WAS NOT PAINTED TO COVER ANYTHING UP. THE PICS WERE TAKEN TO SHOW SOMEONE ELSE HOW IT LOOKED. MAKE SENSE NOW! OR DO I HAVE TO POST MY ORIGINAL TEXT WITH THE PIC TO THAT PERSON? SECOND THE STRIPES ON THE BODY ARE THE SAME COLOR AS THE HEADSTOCK.SO WHY WOULD I HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO STRIPES WITHOUT DOING THE HEADSTOCK. THE BLACK PLATE YOU SEE MR. DETECTIVE SOLO WAS USED TO MAKE THE SQUARE SWITCH PLATE UNDER THE 3 WAY SWITCH. I'M SORRY BUT WE DID NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL OUR SHEET OF THE STUFF CAME IN. IS THAT OK MR. DETECTIVE SOLO. HERE IS THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE A GUY HERE TAKING AND MAKING ACCUSATIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING AND IS COMPLETELY WRONG. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY THERE IS A BLACK CAVITY COVER SITTING THERE. THE PLACE IS A GUITAR CUSTOM SHOP EDIOT THERE ARE MANY BLACK CAVITY COVERS FLOATING AROUND THERE. YOU ASK WHY I AM DEFENSIVE? iT'S NOT BECAUSE I AM HIDING ANYTHING IT IS BECAUSE YOU ALL SIT HERE AND TALK AND COMPLAINE BUT YET I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE HERE MAKE AN EFFORT TO DO WHAT I HAVE. TALK IS CHEAP I LEARNED THAT ALONG TIME AGO. AND THE BIGGEST TALKERS WHOM THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL ARE THE BIGGEST DUMMYS. THIS SHOULD NOT OFFEND ANYONE UNLESS THE SHOE FITS. INSTEAD OF GIVING GOOD ADVICE AND SUGGESTING CHANGES TO MAKE IT BETTER SOME OF YOU HAVE RIPPED IT APART LIKE IT WAS FROM MARS. IT'S NOT THAT OFF AT ALL AND AS FAR AS HARDWARE GOES I CAN PUT THE BETTER HARDWARE ON IT AND PLANNED TO DO THAT EVENTUALLY WHEN THINGS KICKED IN. BUT FOR NOW THIS IS HOW THE FIRST ONE LOOKS AND THE SECOND ONE WILL ALREADY HAVE CHANGES IN IT. BUT NOW I MAY SCRATCH THE WHOLE DEAL AND DO NONE. I'M NOT GOING TO GET AGGRAVATED BY ALL OF THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE HERE POST A PICTURE OF WHAT THEY MADE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING. AND I DON'T MEAN A POLKADOT AND I DON'T MEAN SOMEONE THAT MADE IT FOR YOU. MOST OF ALL LETS SEE FROM THE BIG TALKERS HERE THAT KNOW IT ALL LIKE MR. DETECTIVE SOLO WHAT HE MADE LATELY. IT'S REALLY EASY TO TALK -HIT WHEN YOU PERSONALLY CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING. FOR THE GUY WONDERING ABOUT MY SPELLING YES I SHOULD DO SPELL CHECK. I OPOLIGIZE FOR THE GRAMMER AN AUTO ACCIDENT HAS DONE THIS TO ME 8 YEARS AGO. SO YES MY MEMORY IS SCREWED ALONG WITH MY SPELLING WHEN I AM RUSHING WHICH IS ALWAYS.
Here's mine.... I handled all paint including airbrushing and came up with the pattern that my friend built....
