Building The "D'frain MeanMachine" Part II

[kancherito33]

I appreciate the effort, but man... it looks awful.

[zzrock7]

ew...

[mijangoster]

looks awsome

[Drakonerius]

Awesome finish man!!! I love it.

I am actually considering buying a P-bass body, J-bass neck, custom finishing them, and salvaging parts from my existing P-bass (not that what's on here now is Fender parts, except the tuning pegs) and creating a one-off. I wonder how much that would cost me :P

[ScienceRyan]

Nice dude! Check out my custom build video

[mudshovel508]

Did you paint it with flat paint first? I heard that if you paint it with gloss and clear coat it, it will crack the finish, so i was curious. If i used clear could I sand it down or something before the clear?

[somaAndi]

@mudshovel508 hi! we used a grey primer, then black paint, then airbrush and in the end severall layers of clear coat that was wet-sanded down before each new layer. hope that helps

[BeyondTheReckoning]

@mudshovel508 I know you weren't asking me, but gun paint isn't like can paint, it all dries flat. You get gloss by using gloss clear coats.

Nice work.Great airbrushwork.

[DrShankenstein]

BADASS !!!!!! GREAT JOB !!!!!

[000acr000]

This is probably one of the only guitars with flames I would actually play. Great Job!

[somaAndi]

@000acr000 glad you like it! was much work but very rewarding! I love playing it!

[000acr000]

@somaAndi It would be sick if the flames glowed in the dark xD

[somaAndi]

@000acr000 true! thought about doing that too but I stayed withe the neon-green I already purchased

[000acr000]

@somaAndi Ah, still looks kickass though. xD

[blacksabbathfan007]

@somaAndi Do a video of you playing it, I wanna hear what is sounds like

[somaAndi]

@blacksabbathfan007 I'm working on a new set up right now. when its done I'll post severeall new videos. I'm sure I will use my meanmachine too

[blacksabbathfan007]

@somaAndi Sounds like fun!

[ralfcaetano]

whats the name of the song?

[somaAndi]

@ralfcaetano

hey! its "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory

[ralfcaetano]

@somaAndi

thanks man by the way thats a hell of a guitar you got there... im thinking on working on a strat my self got me a seymour duncan jb but i don't really know what to expect from it... i'm thinking lake placid blue for a finish do you think mighty mite does that?

[somaAndi]

@ralfcaetano

I have a jeff beck in single coil format that I'm selling right now. you could expect a good classic or modern rock sound from it I'd say. it can handle a lot of gain and will maintain clear.

don't know if mighty mite has that but I know that a german company calles rockinger does that. LPB is a great color!!!

[ralfcaetano]

@somaAndi thanks for the offer but i'm kinda going for the fat strat look and i personally don't like single coil format humbuckers... by the way what do you suggest for neck and middle pickups? i was thinking of putting an ssl-2 in the neck with the reverse polarity ssl-2 in the middle position

[somaAndi]

@ralfcaetano

wow good question. it really depends on the kind of stratsound you are looking for. for me the 69' Fender set is the best choice so far. I have the duncan SSLs in my other strat. a good sound too but there is something about the 69's that does it for me. I'd know how if they go along with the JB though..

drop me a line when you finished you guitar! greetz andi

[ralfcaetano]

@somaAndi

thanks man will do...

[xspidermanplayax]

does mighty mite come with the fender logo on the headstock?

[somaAndi]

@xspidermanplayax

no they don't as far as I know.

[joemcgum]

dude that is sick imma sub to u dude, cause guitar is beast, what is it valued and how much did u put into it?

[somaAndi]

@joemcgum

I think I put a total fo 500 Euro in it.

[joemcgum]

how much is it worth?

[somaAndi]

@joemcgum I put about 500 Euros in it. deopends on how much you would pay for the actual work in the thing.

[darkarura1776]

where did you get the drilling equipment

[somaAndi]

hi

it does not belong to me. sasch who did the carpenter work for me owns it.

[chezruss]

how d like the mighty mite ebony neck. i ve just ordered 1 on internet, does it play well?as good as fender?

congrats on the guitar/it s a real mean machine! well done

[somaAndi]

hey!

I like the neck so far! it plays great, I don't think that fender makes better necks (nottalking about custom shop products of course). Mighty Mite is really a good pick I'd say! let me know how you liked yours. Where are you gonna put on to?

thanks for the post!

[cornflakesnwater]

awesome.!!..Happy New year... *\o/*

[somaAndi]

thanks man! I wish you a happy new year too!!

[xrun3sx]

awesome

[maciekg16kutno]

Delicious!!!! Metal with you, dude!

[BennyCrap]

Ohh man sweet flames

[kusmenklote187]

what did you use to mask off the flames?

[somaAndi]

just standard adhesive foile. you can buy it anywhere!

[HOUSTONismyHOME]

badass lookin. check mine out

[somaAndi]

hi! it's not a fine line actually. we worked from the outside towards the insight of the flame to create that faded look.

[jcarman1]

how do you make your air brush do fine lines mine wont?
