What's Hot

edited June 2019 in Guitar
Being pretty restricted in what I can do while recovering from surgery and during Chemo, it was an ideal opportunity to (re) finish my GSP DC Jr, so here it is finally.

Spec is:
Front bound GSP DC Jr body and neck with Gotoh bridge.
Finished as a sort of gold top using metallic Silver with amber tint lacquer over from Steve Robinson. Partial grain fill to give some sunken grain effect.
Crimson finishing oil to neck and back
Mojo Dog Ear P90
Cellulose pick guard from Neil - Ivison Guitars

There are things that I would do differently (again) if I do another, but I pretty happy how it came out and it has kept me occupied for a few weeks.

    Sorry to hear about your health troubles. I hope you are on the mend.

    Super cool. Pretty sure P90's are good for your health, like owning a dog, long walks, all that stuff. Makes sense to me.

    @Sesh - Thanks I'm working through it, Chemo is the last stage of treatment I hope, and staying positive and being able to smile at it sometimes, helps.

    @CloudNine - I love P90's. This one is very bright which I have some doubts about (it is not necessarily the PU though) and the dog and walking has definitely been a help with recovery.

    That finish and body shape make me cooooooo like a horny dove.
