GORN - Couple of Freebies - Projects

JookyChap

Following the extremely cool trend and @jimmyguitar giving a Squier in this direction, I have these two and probably a few more things I'll add, if anybody wants them.

1. 1980s Charvette (by Charvel),

Retina-melting-fluro-orange.
This needs love.
It has had a headstock break fixed which feels solid.
I'll give it a clean up, and one of the ground leads has come detached so that will be fixed too, but other than the buzzing it works.
Missing a cavity cover.
No trem arm

I've nicked Parker's foto, but will do new ones if needed

2. Defil Malwa - Somewhere between 1950s and 1980s, Made in Poland Semi

This is a complete shed.
It has had the neck detached, reattached many times,redrilled, larger screws used and it still has a neck that rocks too and fro in any passing breeze.Might look good on the wall if your decor is ageing and you want something to make it feel better about itself
The top has a small split and god knows what else, but it looks cool and there we are.
I really wouldn't want to post this (unless it was an insurance job)

Easier to meet up Weston-super-Mare, Portishead, Clevedon, Brean, whatever, but can post the Charvette if nobody close is keen

Loving the DeFil...

@HarrySeven I think even you would step over it, turn back and put it back into the skip it had fallen out of

HarrySeven

Are you sure?

Lovin the colour of that Charvette

HarrySeven

See, I've always regretted parting with this one...

@HarrySeven I would too, however...

Actually, it looks like the foto that one keeps in the attic

But they have both gone anyway - unsurprisingly -

@HarrySeven got the Defil, and

@MikeyRob73 the Charvette

cheers chaps

mikeyrob73

Have some fun plans for that wee charvel

JookyChap

Cool - I'll look forward to the thread

mikeyrob73

No probs Jooky, it will be heading off to a crazy friend of mine so a bizarre paint job at some stage of the Xmas holidays, he has a strange pot addled mind so I could come back with anything painted on it

Can I just say that Jooky is one of the most generous guys around, has sorted me out with stuff many many times, top man.

blueskunk

Totally agree with Mr B.

mikeyrob73

well i have just shown it to my " painter" friend and he is buzzing with ideas so this could be slightly interesting :-) updates will follow in due course, dont expecting anything to happen to quickly though :-) Thanks again to @JookyChap ;

Moss

Damn, that Charvel is an 80s dream

Nice catch @mikeyrob73 ;

mikeyrob73

@Moss ;
suspect it may be a bit mad and out there by the time its painted. 

we have batted a few ideas about, including flames ! 

Moss

Pink leopard print all the way
