Youngun Josh Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) Hey, like i said before, im 16 and I loved working on this guitar. Its not much different from the BC rich bronze series but i did what i could to make it my own. I was kinda shooting blind with this one so advice would be much appreciated. The head stock pics and pics of the SG im redueing are soon to come. So lemme know what u guys think! http://img376.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0192wk5.jpg Edited August 8, 2008 by Youngun Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think it looks damn good! congrats. I dont know what advice to give, because you seem to have done a lot of the work already... are you using a premade neck or making/ have made your own?

Narcissism Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Very nice! I wish i had enough money to build mine at 16! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngun Josh Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 im going to reuse the b.c. rich guitar neck but change the shape of the head stock, possible paint the neck, and possible play with inlays. lol and it wasnt hard to do this so early cuz i only bought the guitar for 50. I was just wondering tho, i look in other pics and see beautiful curves with no flaws or dips and i came NOWHERE close to being able to achieve that...WHY lol... and if i was to try and sell this, what price do u guys think i should try and put on it.

ihocky2 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Any details on the build? It sounds like it was a refinish on a BC Rich. I love the way the finish came out. What did you use to finish it with. From that one pic it looks great. If there are specific flaws you are trying to find out how to fix, you'll need to get a more close up picture of them. nice work either way.

Tim37 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was just wondering tho, i look in other pics and see beautiful curves with no flaws or dips and i came NOWHERE close to being able to achieve that...WHY time it takes time i learned a lot from friends that do body work. btw looks good i like the color scheme and my advise is mask off the neck pocket befor you finish the guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryovanni Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Colors look really nice Hard to tell much about the finish in that pic. If you are having troubles with some part of finishing maybe you could elaborate on the issue or take some closer pics so we can see what is happening.

InSasquatchCountry Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Nice paint job. Did you refinish a guitar or make it from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngun Josh Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Nice paint job.

Thats cool I did the same with my schecter blackhawk. I sanded the old paint off and just put the last coat of lacquer on 5 days ago. I gotta let it cure then I got a sag to take care of and some polishing. Ill post some pics when its all done. Todays my BDAY!! Just turned 18. Gotta get me some smoke... just kiddin those things is gross!! What pups are you puttin in yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foil1more Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 excellent. I built my first acoustic kit when I was 16, bass kit at 17, and I'm starting a guitar from scratch now and I turned 18 on monday. Good to see other young builders. I've learned that the building golden rule is take your time and if you really screw up, let it sit for a day or two and then calmly look for a solution.
