blr6 March 28th, 2012, 08:43 AM Made this from door eyelet from lowes 5.00 each
calvin lee March 28th, 2012, 01:37 PM it's ugly as hell, and i absolutely love it.
f.y.i. in the videogame community BFG stands for "big ****ing gun".
or, if you read children's books, "big friendly giant".
blr6 April 7th, 2012, 05:43 PM I just finished this, I really like the way it turned out, I will post a video of the whole progress soon
catfish72 April 7th, 2012, 06:50 PM It looks insane (in a good way). It also looks like an abstract Mickey Mouse. :D
Cool axe, well done. :)
nadles April 7th, 2012, 07:38 PM Nice work - I love the f holes.
Tinman46 April 7th, 2012, 08:09 PM It's got a bit of a steampunk vibe going on. One of kind for sure. Can't wait for the video. Perhaps with a performance or sound clip?
For some reason I picture it being played through a steampunk amp
blr6 April 8th, 2012, 02:41 PM so I decide this morning to make PU bezzels and a pick guard, I had plexi glass laying around and wanted to try something, It came out great and it took me 4 hours to do 2 bezzels and a pick guard, using my dremmel and jiggsaw and round drill sander, I frosted it with 120 grit sandpaper on the pick guard I did both sides and on the bezzels front only, 2 sides make it a darker frost
fender62custom April 8th, 2012, 04:04 PM ''COOL''...NICE TOUCH...very different...enjoy...would love to hear what it sounds like!! cheers
