what pickup did you use in the neck position? or how did you get it to look like that? And if you can remember, what sizes of tape did you use?

PLEASE reply, i'm working on one of these myself and this would really help. Thanks

@dagbuss123 I can't remember the pickup I used, but I know I painted it myself. As for the sizes for the tape - they're all different. I blew up an image of the frankie on a program and calculated each size independently.

the white paint is not actually wrong... with age it will change slightly to the slightly yellowed creamy color. just thought you should know that if it pisses you off so much. anyway what was the name of the shade of red you used???

[drdezz]

@guitargod1598 Apple Red by Rustoleum I believe

Nice job... Mine had that pickup in but it didn't sound anywhere near right. Go figure. I ended up with a Seymour Duncan JB. It sounds better but it's not right maybe a Bareknuckles VH will sort it! At least your striping is spot on... I found out the very thin ones one the original black and white colour scheme were pin stripe tape the day after I sprayed the red on mine! Doh!! By the way, where did you get the body?

hey man a word of advice to achieve your cream paint look... Eddie did use white paint but he used poly urethane on it and as you use multiple coats it will look more like a cream. If you do this use this technique use spray poly and not with a brush to avoid uneccassary sanding to get rid of brush marks. Just spray multiple coats let it hang but be sure to spray light coats within about 20-30 min of eachother.

you could also use a seymour duncan 59' bridge pickup. Get it on Warmoth .com for 78 bucks :)
