Practice Frankenstein

Post by DivebombInc » Wed Jan 07, 2009 9:01 am

Had a body I cut before I got the 25k Frankie here so I decided I'd practice on it. It's not perfect, but as I was working on it I learned a lot so now when I paint mine from my new body template I'll use everything I learned. I just noticed looking at this picture that I didn't relic around the quarter. I'll update the pic later after I add that detail.

Okay, I did the marks around the quarter and put the neck on.

I just got through with the setup and this thing rocks! Action is lower than the Fender and it plays like butter. My Divebomb WarEd pickup is perfect!

Looks great, Kyle.

Did you have your pickup guy look at the one on the 25K Frankie? Any changes?
