This is the #1. It started life as a murdered out metal machine, so naturally I had to class it up. Charvel Pro Mod So Cal Style 2.
I like prints of pickguards way better than prints on the body itself, always looks like a window to another realm. Really looks great!
That is so so awesome. I had a seafoam green bass that I was going to paint flowers on the pickguard. This makes me wish I had actually done it.
This just makes me want to bust into Gojira riffs. Top stuff.
Oh wow that looks great! Love the contrast between the black of the body and the pink of the flowers. Also I love the irony of playing heavy fucking metal out of a Telecaster shaped body.
Thanks!

tbf this is what it looked like when I got it, very much a metal Tele.the pickguard really defines the personality of the guitar so much, this feels like a completely different instrument.
excellent! did you build the guitar yourself? either way, would love to know the woods!
I did not build the guitar, I just modified it. Body is ash, neck is roasted maple.
nice. i bet the body weighs a good bit unless there’s some relief in there!
always a fan of zero inlay necks, they look so clean. the white on maple really works for me
The pickguard isn’t actually covering up any electronics cavities, but some of them do have weight relief cavities under the pickguard. Mine is solid though, about 8lbs iirc
