diablo175 Posted October 13, 2024 Author Posted October 13, 2024 Oh yeahhh. Lots going on in the land of perpetual GAS and modding. First up is the So Cal project I initiated back in the early summer(?). This one is getting the full treatement- new custom pickguard, new paint, new pickups. Some may recall voting on the pickguard I am to put on. I think everyone's instincts mirrored my own and now, after seeing the new finish, I know it's the right call.
diablo175 Posted October 13, 2024 Author Posted October 13, 2024 Next up is the custom Iceman I'm having a builder in Ohio- Attila Csapo- make. The plans were finalized and he's got the body cut from a solid hunk o' 'Hog. Mmmm. Also finalized the paint and inlay colors! This is gonna be epic.

diablo175 Posted October 25, 2024 Author Posted October 25, 2024 The fingerboard for my impending iceman!
diablo175 Posted November 6, 2024 Author Posted November 6, 2024 Attila KILLIN' IT! Frets go in tomorrow!!
diablo175 Posted November 12, 2024 Author Posted November 12, 2024 Holy Moly!!!! Frets in and ready for paint!!!
diablo175 Posted November 13, 2024 Author Posted November 13, 2024 Holy shit, this Attila guy is efficient. He’s got a coat of sealer applied and will sand it down today. Depending on whether it needs a second coat or not, it will then get painted.

RobB Posted November 13, 2024 Posted November 13, 2024 It's a shame to cover up that beautiful mahogany with paint. A subtle tobacco-burst would be perfect.

RobB Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Bad comparison. The above mahogany needed paint.

BubbaVO Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Big hog body on a maple neck - this is going sound great. Can’t wait to see / hear how it turns out.
diablo175 Posted December 13, 2024 Author Posted December 13, 2024 Won't be long now. Paint's done and is cleared, buffed and polished. Now the neck is getting oiled. Hardware and electronics go in soon. Should land before or in time for X-mas.

diablo175 Posted December 14, 2024 Author Posted December 14, 2024 The infamous "Zza" Strat has undergone yet one more (final?) transformation. Seems I just don't have a significant use for a dedicated, single coil Strat. So the Gravelin bridge, single coil came out and a SD Hot Rails went in. With coil splitting. Best (or close enough) of both worlds now.
