hooglebug Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 forgot i took these. havent done much for a while. need some more sandpaper and the tuners so i can get strings on and check the frets to see if they need anything done before finishing. also, going to be getting on with james' holly so these will have to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 dude, james can wait for years without complaining, I wouldn't worry gorgeous work though. Can we have some workshop shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 dude, james can wait for years without complaining, I wouldn't worry gorgeous work though. Can we have some workshop shots? i bet his workshop floor is 1 piece honduran mahogany. and that is true, but it probably would be finished before those other guitars i have on order anyway also, since the last mock up had a rosewood board (I forgot I was going for a maple board) basically that, but all hardware (except the brass bridge) will be aged nickel. not sure about the tuners though also, no 12th fret inlay, and there will be a phase switch between the volume and tone controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 nice. I don't like sunbursts but the shape/design is just so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 my "workshop" is a garage thats full to bursting that i have to thoroughly vacuum out before i start spraying. when im wiring or cutting inlays, my workshop is my bedroom floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I've been fantasizing about having my nose shoved into the sexy wooden floor boards in your bedroom. Don't tell me it's a nice persian shag-pile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 How much would you charge for a) a finished jazzmaster body (just the body, no hardware or anything) b) an unfinished body? But with all the routing and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Holy shit, I would love to see a mockup of Hoogle's take on something like these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 i was actually asked about something similar - well, what i was asked for was a cross between a manson and a jazzmaster - and this is the shape i did. nothing came of it and i cant remember who it was. i just added the tele stuff and a scratchplate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 It is Also, hooglebug - I've learned that those finishes are called target bursts...the only thing I want to mention is that I'd like it to be nice and even like this rather than...

cheddatom Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 heh, james, this will be an awful finish, is it for a satirical band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 heh, james, this will be an awful finish, is it for a satirical band? I wouldn't play in any other kind of band As I've said before, it's loosely based on this obviously it'll look pretty different, but the overall spec is going to be very similar. no preamp though...

Jaicen Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Agreed. A Tele should be butterscotch. Anything else is wrong. Just ask the Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 SRS do you have a band? I'd like to hear some! I never said that, but you'll be the first to hear the satire when I am. And this guitar isn't going to have the relic'ing obviously, but it will have the obnoxious target burst. The 3 tone sunburst that fender does now is a bit boring.

cheddatom Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The target burst looks so cheap and nasty! It would have been perfect for the Premature Ejaculators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 speaking of terrible finishes - im making a neck for someone in spain and he had a body finished in chrome by sims and then sent to me and its bloody awful. its covered all over by orange peel, there are bits of dust that are literally sticking out of it so you can feel it, there is a little dent in the top and one on the back. oh, and the jack socket hole is too small and he asked them to make it the right size and they havent. i dont know how much he paid for it but whatever it was its too much. so now im waiting on them replying to me about whether it will be safe for me to flat it down or if i'll have to spray it with more clear coats first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 speaking of terrible finishes - im making a neck for someone in spain and he had a body finished in chrome by sims and then sent to me and its bloody awful. its covered all over by orange peel, there are bits of dust that are literally sticking out of it so you can feel it, there is a little dent in the top and one on the back. oh, and the jack socket hole is too small and he asked them to make it the right size and they havent. i dont know how much he paid for it but whatever it was its too much. so now im waiting on them replying to me about whether it will be safe for me to flat it down or if i'll have to spray it with more clear coats first they chromed my bomber replica and i asked the same question, as i wanted to add the blue and purple. they said flat it with 2000 W/D as any lower will show in the top coat, but that was many years ago and they might be using another process now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 well i flatted a little bit of it with 3000, and most of the orange peel is in the undercoat, not the top coat. so whatever you do to it it will stay the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
