Hello everybody!!
Just wanted to make a thread for the repaint / retrofit for my brother in laws (Ungodlystrings) Kerry King Warlock.
Hopefully most know the stock image... if not, google "Kerry King Warlock"... and there you go. That's what I started with.
Here is a "semi started / in progress" pic...
So far here is whats been ordered / going into the final product...
Black Warlock Bridge (instead of the stock chrome)
EMG 81 / 85 Active Pups
250K Volume / Tone pots
9V Battery Box
Gotoh Black Tuning Machines
"R" Logo instead of the crappy script one
Flourescent Green Color
I have gotten the body completely sanded down, ready for the primer and paint. Yes I know there is still sealer on it... not going to affect the final outcome as I sand in between each coat of prime / paint / clear. Will still have that "mirror" finish once im done...
The bottom right leg had a serious chip that ate into the wood that I had to fix... the new bevels came out nice!
its all ready to go... once the pups, batt box arrive I cant route / resize the necessary cavities.
Ive been able however to start on the headstock portion, just waiting for the "R" logo to come in so I can finally clear it and then install the new machines...
Start...
Sanded...
Taped off...
Primed...
Painted...
Its a work in progress... a simple makeover... but this will be rather "quick"... Ill keep you all updated!!
