So I finally got the baby .I stripped the body ,Filled with Epoxy-resin ,Sculpted the inner side of the lower horn for better fret access ,roundd the edges ,filled the neck PU cavity ,the tone-pot hole and the switch hole.(Thanx all the nice people here for their help and usefull advices..Much appreciated)
My buddy said that he is good at finishing and he did it many many times ,so I gave him to do it.
He fucked up the finish ,stripped and refinished 4 times.Still the finish is shitty ,bulbs and whatnot everywhere.
So Apophis will get it to refinishing.
Anyways ,I am still proud of the color (It will refinished with the same color) ,and more proud how I sanded ,filled with epoy-resin ,and how it sounds.
I was in Studio yesterday with it ,and it recorded perfectly.Susatin for days and full -powerfull sound.It sounds more like swamp-ash now.
Here is the fitting picture set.Enjoy!

Man that's a paint made by Standox.It's a 2 components laquer.The colour is called Firefighter red ,since the firefighters here in Germany are that color.
Think like Ambulance color in the U.K.

You bet!
since the Q-Tuner lets everything throu ,and the 1 megOhm pot doesn't trim any highs ,It's a screaming machine.
But that's a good thing ,since the RG was fairly dark sounding!

That's fuckin bright dude! :lol:

Looks awwwwsome :wub: :yesway:

Thanx!Hehehe...You can't imagine how people react when they open the case heheh :D
