so I have had a jackson neck for a while from the fb2 I got off ed (I never bonded with the firebird body so all the other parts have ended up on other guitars) so I figured it time to use it. The plan was to make a jackson "star" style guitar with the lynch bomber graphic ...... but see 1,2 and 3 above ....... yes it would turn into the roswell 2
question...how do you make a guitar without hours of sanding, drying paint and countless bottle of alcohol??????
answer......
piss yellow....(or yellow shit in some circles)
more to come

this is the most fun I have had building a guitar probably ever
now something slightly less violent....shaving down the neck

The jackson necks on the fb2 are massive...by far the biggest necks I have ever played and while it wasn't uncomfortable to play it was big enough to not make me want to pick the guitar up very often so I have shaved it back by about 15% or so. It still feels big but a bit more manageable now
oh and if you home builders out there don't have any spokeshaves then get some...NOW they rock :thumbup:

the metal bit I glued on to hold the pot fell off so now it sits inside the cavity....if it gets to annoying i'll screw the other bit back on

It sounds pretty cool although it does lack a bit of resonance acoustically.....no idea why that would be
