Pauls IMO are just hype. I only like their pickup sound. Other than that, they are just expensive.

Sorry, been busy. The guitars were cheap, im not a rich person.

Bass= $240 Used

Haven't ever played before. One time I went over my cousins house for the day and I played it a while. The best I can do is slow strumming of the strings.

What about a GMP guitar? Those may be expensive, but they are the most famous. Excellent sound and really cool customization. Check it.

See what I mean ^^.

Wow... I dont know about the guitar but the Diamond pearloid inlays, Carved top, and airbrushed graphics will already throw that guitar into the $1000's.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 16 Jul 2005, 20:20

Without the customization GMP guitars are already from $1500 to $2000 bucks. Way too much money for me to ever pay.

FINALLY I have an update for ya's.

Not a lot has happened since last time, but there is enough to write about

- First of all, my neck is just about ready for paint, as I have finished shaping it.
- On the body I have routed a 45-degree edge on most corners.
- On the back I have routed cavities for the electronics.
- I carved out the part of the body near the base of the neck.
- The guitar is also thinner since the last pics I took.

Here it is so far:

As I said before, one of my mates is making an LP replica with a contoured top. Here is the work in progress:

And here is another mates SG replica:

These guitars belong to other poeple in the class:

And a couple more pics of the work area:

Nice... Is this a class? Wow.

very nice stuff Bogan, i spent two years learning to build guitars but had to find a new direction because there isn't much chance of getting a good job in the UK. It can become a bit stressful when it comes to spraying, making sure you've got the dents out, then after spraying there's a lot of careful sanding to do to get the neck and hardware to fit back in the slots. I've got a few chips on my guitar but luckily they're under the bridge, pots and input socket. It takes a while to polish and buff but it's well worth it, your's looks well cool, a proper trashing axe

That is one freaky, but cool guitar dude.

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 11 Sep 2005, 05:41

man thats awesome, wish we had a class like that over here!

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 16 Oct 2005, 04:29

Another UPDATE:

- we have finally got some paint and at the moment the guitar has clear paint over it.
- the neck has been stained black. I used stain instead of paint because then I can still see the woodgrain.
- I have used wet & dry sandpaper on the clear paint to make it smooth and prepare it for the next layer of paint, which will be yellow.
- it also appears that the guitar shop who is supplying our electronics is screwing us over and we still haven't got them yet.

LOL thanks. The class is called Guitar Design and Construction.

I think my school is the only one in Victoria (or maybe even Australia) that does the class.

awesome work on your guitar bogan

I know for a fact that none of the schools up my end of NSW cover that as a subject

underoath285 · Post by **underoath285** » 23 Jan 2006, 03:51

wow bogan, i just now found this topic, and that guitar is sick....i've been playin for almost 6 years now and i'm lovin that...anymore updates on that?

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 23 Jan 2006, 04:01

Ahhh . . . ahahaaaa . . . no

Since school finished I haven't done any work on it. The guitar shop gave us the wrong electronics and we're having a hard time trying to get the right parts. When school starts again this year, I'll be able to go and see the teacher so we can try and work something out.

It's pretty annoying

underoath285 · Post by **underoath285** » 23 Jan 2006, 04:02

yeah, i would definitaly be pissed. that was looking great though; good job so far! hope you can get it done

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 23 Jan 2006, 04:04

Yeah thanks, I'll post any updates as soon as I get 'em

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 30 Mar 2008, 04:24
