There you go, marvel at my incredible photography skills and wood putty appliance.

I actually love it, its so fun just to do all this 'wooping' up and down the fretboard.


For anyone who wants to know how to do it, I suggest using http://www.geocities.com/charlesarms/ Its what I used, although I gave the neck a polyeurothane finish.


If I was to do any more to it I'd go over the neck with a radius block and apply epoxy resin, but I'm happy at the moment.


As for the body, I'm going to strip the finish and maybe try and get a good stain for it, a wood pickguard and a J-Retro.


BTW, eb9 it's a GB34, not an A4LTD


Laterz y'all

looks like you did a good job, a little messy neer the body but it happens. After all its not how it looks, its how it plays.

It's just a more uncommon sound that is cutting edge yet very traditional as well.

i guess its like a fad.. i dont care for them that much.

you did a nice job though, good luck with the 'overhaul' on the finish/guard.

Ninja Edit: also, USE A MICROFIBER CLOTH ONCE IN A WHILE :lol:
