Out of curiosity, how much did those hooks run you? I've got a $50 card for GC, and I've been meaning to do what you've done for some time. I'm not opposed to going over the card amount - I've got six or seven instruments I'd like to hang up - but I've been trying to get hooks that are actually okay for the instrument, and are still reasonably priced.

The laser level was $15 and the stud finder $10, the hangers come with anchors that allow you to put them anywhere in the wall, but I wanted the extra security of them being on a stud. The laser level was just to keep everything in a neat line.

Carbohydrates posted:With a black guard and ebony board, that thing's going to be beautiful! Warmoth's stuff is pricey, but there's a reason, I guess. I'm still in the process of working on a parts guitar, the body and neck of which I bought a number of years ago. Strat shaped, the neck's a maple fretboard. I still have to buy one more pickup and a set of tuners, and I should be able to put the thing together. I've been really lagging behind, but maybe it's time to go get those last couple things so I can finally build my strat.

That is absolutely beautiful wood but i think black would be a really awesome contrast to how light it is. Clear would still be cool. Honestly i don't think there is anything you could do to make that body look bad except maybe spraypaint it neon green with bright red radiation symbols or possibly shape it into a shark

I usually prefer it on fender stuff since they have unpainted headstocks. And what in the world is going on with the weird metal flake stuff on the electronics?

Carbohydrates posted:I don't like the look of a tele without a pickguard. They don't exactly have the most attractive body shape and the pickguard kinda visually holds it together. Definitely a preference thing. Just seems like a shame to cover up any of that wood. It seems like it would look really good with no pickguard and plain darker gold hardware. If you absolutely must have a pickguard, it kind of seems like creme or white would look better. Also, that engraved hardware looks pretty weird to me.

Well, I'm mainly a guitarist, I've played for about 5 years, but I took up drums about a year ago and I just bought my first kit, a 6-Piece Gretsch Maple Catalina. Shes a beauty, check it out.   And once I get some more money i'm buying one of these:  Ibanez RG1570, Ive been moving in a more metal direction for a while and I need a guitar that can handle the heavy stuff.

Just won the bidding on ebay for this: Marshall MG250DFX. Should be a nice upgrade from my 15 watt Orange i've been using these past few years. I can't wait for it to arrive so I can realise I bought something far too loud for my practicing needs. Not mine, but my buddy/guitar teacher just won this 'distressed' Telecaster in a contest. I'm not a Fender man at all, but the story behind it and the sound are both pretty drat fun.  How they distressed it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=j6I7pMjDke8 It now has the used shotgun shells they fired at it glued to the volume and tone knobs.

Carbohydrates posted:I appreciate your opinion and all but looks like we've got pretty opoosite tastes here. I don't like the look of gold hardware (though I did a mock-up using it to see if I would), I hate white/pearl/light colors over burst finishes* The gold hardware could look bad, I'd definitely have to see it. It just seems like with a more subdued gold it'd match everything well, but it's possible I'm thinking about it wrong in my head. meh. I agree that gold hardware really only looks good with a few other colors. I also didn't even notice it was burst finished until just now. Thought it was clear  . I agree with the dislike of lighter pickguards on burst finishes. Are the sides of the body completely black?

Not exactly newest since I got the body+neck back before Thanksgiving but it is done and playable now. Started as this:  Stripped down to this:  You can kind of see where it started its life as a hot pink mess. At some time in its life it had what looks like to be a Kahler tremolo installed, but it was already filled in with wood when I stripped it.  Paint was Seafoam Green Nitro-Cellulose from The Guitar ReRanch  I re-did the inlays in pearl dots, made the pearl tops for the pick-up covers, cut the electronics cover out of pearloid sheet, and I made a Pearloid truss rod cover but I am re-cutting it because I didn't like how it came out. It still needs some tweaking of the action and intonation and I have a bone nut blank staring at me waiting to get up the nerve to cut my first nut from scratch. The neck I re-finished with Tru-Oil gives it a nice tint and smooth feel. This is my 3rd finishing project and my 2nd parts build. Someday I am going to do a complete scratch build.

ZombiePeanut posted:Just seems like a shame to cover up any of that wood. The grain of the wood and the black pick guard, combined with the engraved hardware, makes it look like an old hunting shotgun to me. If you could get a gunmetal blued color pick guard it would look amazing in my opinion. Not fender's idea of "gunmetal" I mean like blue so dark it may as well be black.
