Hey Frankie thx for the bump

Nope nothing that tickled my 80's fancy has sofar popped up so fire away if i dont dig it someone else might.

I did re-finishing an early 90's vester body i had kicking around in blue crackle,just waiting on some pup's to arrive before i put it all together.

I've got a 2002 Squier Showmaster that I refinished a couple of years ago and rebuilt with better pickups and electronics.
Might be willing to part with it as it hardly ever gets used!




The neck has a lovely flame to the back of it...

I'd do this one for £115 shipped or £100 collected from near Ipswich. Great guitar and fantastic build quality.

@frankieMART what ya got?

Thanks for the offer @PhilM ,looks like a nice job you did on the refinish,But I already have a Showmaster 6 in hot pink and a showmaster 7 string (that i refinished in metallic blue) not quite metal enough for a crackel paint job

Thanks for the offer @handsomerik but doesn't have floyd and again not quite metal enough for this project,

Just missed a perfect jackson thur neck on reverb for £210,while i was checking the spec/year/tube it sold lol,you snooze you loose.....



before i go buy a HB fusion pro from thomann

hassleham

@Gizmo that crackle finish is sweeeeeeeet!!

Gizmo

@hassleham Thx you can see my (mis)adventures in doing a crackle finishes in my thread over @ Sevenstring.org 

haven't had chance to update it as im getting out of a pretty toxic relationship atm so haven't had time to get it all setup/finished

Update/Sorted for this WTB guitar/thread,ended up with a  Vester JJM1020 from a guy on gumtree who was kind enough to ship it from for from surrey.

Done a quick clean/setup and tweak and its playing nice now,going to have to wait till feb/march to get this stripped out and muiltcolour crackle finished,should be fun.
