Future

All that's Left to do on my guitar is make a new bridge for it, which I may never even do. And I also need to switch out the pickups in it so it sounds less like I bought it for $50 and instead sounds as good as it looks.

After


As you can see I put a lot of work into customizing my guitar. I sanded off the logo as well as the finish on the head and neck and put some fun designs on the head before re staining the head and neck. I also carved another tribal design into the pickguard so you can see the finished body Beneath it. I also sanded the pickguard down so it has a softer look to it then the shiny plastic it had previously. And finally I sanded the whole body so that it was no longer an ugly sparkley metallic blue and instead it took on a more worn out metalic blue.
My only regret is that the designs on both the head and the pickguard don't really match, ones sharp and pointy and the other one flows a lot more. And possibly I wouldn't have done the circular fire thing at the tip of the head.

And yes, I was to lazy to cut the excess strings off of my guitar, instead I made them look awsome.

Before


This one is almost the same as mine was when I got it. only differences are that mine was a sparkley metallic blue and the volume and tone knobs are different, the same ones that are on it currently
