Countdown: Vandalized Stratocaster Redux

[Zippy]

They named him ZIPPY! lol

Hah! LOL, indeed.

I wonder what nickname he will have from his royal Yummy Mummy.

Cheers!

[Reeltarded]

I am going to call him Zippy. Do what you want.

Shot all the primer finally. Running about half a day behind from weather woes. Tomorrow block out color on and clear.

On left is a curing gold leaf telecaster. I thinknthe most hellish finish is big sparkle then leaf finishes. Uhhg

[Reeltarded]

Blocked out. Color on. I would normally spend several more hours prepping a body in such bad condition. No excuses. I don't have the luxury.

This is commando restoration, yo! Spray cans are the Devil with gas propellants.



This is one of my all time favorite colors though. I kind of steered him into it. He brought me a terrible '90s style pearl guard for it. Trying to steer him out of that. My idea is middle '66. His idea is a trailer on blocks with cardboard windows. (sorry cbass)

[Reeltarded]

Two hours til level last coats. Weather was nice enough to move it today.

Is it more green now. Can't tell.

[Reeltarded]

Kids can't wait to get home to unwrap the toys.

[Colossal]

Lookin' great dude! New lease on life. Keep pushing your buddy to steer clear of that blue tarp/stack of used tires look. This one deserves some class and some taste after being defiled by morons.

[Reeltarded]

I win. Pearl guard returns tothe store tomorrow.

Anyone have a used mint guard. It isn't exactly period but it's sweeter 'en pearl on sherwood.

400! 600! Steel wool! A dollar!

About to wind it up. He wants old neck with broken rod reinstalled for a pick up gig today. Will do. Whatever.

....... He wants old neck with broken rod reinstalled for a pick up gig today. Will do. Whatever.

I can't imagine playing a gig with a broken rod!

Oh well ........ different strokes for different folks.

[Reeltarded]

I have known this Guitar for around a decade. The rod was broken long before that. He's generally a bassist. It's so warped it's unplayable and will not intonate for any key or string. Short scale, you know.

Finish that gittar already, then stand up & holler!

What is this guy? El Kabong? (El = short for Elvis?)

[Reeltarded]

Sometimes you meet people who don't think beyond smooth or chunky.

Mmm sandwich.

Are you implying he is an avant-garde jazz player?

[Reeltarded]

He's a jukebox for the kinds of drunks I wouldn't have the patience for.

Wouldn't = Don't
