my custom guitar build

[El Chiguete]

Well yesterday I finally took the guitar home!!! I had to set up the bridge intonations and after spending a good time on that I finally tested it out on my rig and it has potential to be my main guitar for sure!

Today I'm going out of town for the weekend so I wont be abble to play it again until sunday... cant wait!

Ok so first of I have to say that this guitar sound awesome :metal:!!! The I'm really happy with the action and the feel of the neck (it has a lot of meat but still confortable). Overall it came out great even tho we had to do a TON of stuff to get everything to fit right (build shims on the nut and the neck joint) but thats what you get when you match different parts from differente companies, BUT I knew it was going to happend so I'm not surprised.

Here are a few shots but I HAVE to get someone with a good camera to make better shots since my smartphone and the inside lighting take away the AWESOME looks of the guitar in person. The headstock and the back of the neck have some great 3D figuring that moves around depending on the light that hits it and it has a golden color that I've never seen before on mahogany! And the body has a cool quilted finish that looks like its smoking :banana: its actually darker than what you can see in the pics. Im a happy camper now.  :banana-dance:

I have to get used to it... tho I think is touching a bit of the picguard and it's maybe not returning back to 0 again... I will cut down a little to that side of the post and then see if its better.

A hot rodded 80s look with the chrome pickuard was what I was going for  :metal: John Sykes and Glen Tipton use chrome pickguards so I can too
