I appreciate the comment, The finish is nitro-cellulose laquer, mormally the die (if you want a translucent finish) is applied in 15-20 min. thin coats and rubbed, then the laquer is applied, Phillip who is the guy that actually cut, routed and finished the body, has his own secret way of application (really there is no secret, just a different way of doing it) I think he pours the die into the laquer and does 1 coat and then sprays another coat of clear, then lets it dry and buffs.TONGA wrote:Looks great,, I am digging the red,, how about a little info on the finish process and the build?

Another unique feature that you don't normally see on a Floyd Rose body is 3degrees of neck tilt, also the neck heel bottom is milled down some to sit down further into the pocket, and some of the other features that I like are 525-535k volume pot(Ibuy some and measure the resistance, and I use teflon 20 gauge wire for all grounds.
I am building these for around $750.00 and they just kick ass, I have played some guitars that are over $2000.00 and can't see where the extra money is!!!!!!!!!!
