Gretsch-Paul Immanent Completion

  1. Hey Bear-that finish will make your Lp similar to my LP shaped refinned Synchro Jet Pro

  2. Twom,

    That's pretty!!

    So, I scraped some binding today. Kudos to you guys that bind these things. That was awful. Touch up galore...

    – Twom

    It sure will! That looks really nice Twom.

  4. Awesome work megabutter!

  5. Thanks mega and Bear! And Bear when I took my jet pro in to be refinnished I kinda had the lighter blue you have in mind but mine turned out kind of a teal but considering it was originally cherryburst I'm pretty happy with it.

  6. Megs, that looks fantastic with burst and the binding!

  7. The final assembly begins on my GreTscH Paul. What a PITA it was to get the TVJ Gibson style pickup rings to fit properly. Thank God for Dremels and L-Dopa.

    – Bear

    What kind of body is that?

  8. Thanks Mac and Buddy.

    I still need a model name for it.

    What do you guys think of LP120 or L120? Or, I was thinking of like a Harley thing "heritage classic". Or a combo of the two...

  9. So, I came up with this:

    It's Strat Poles on a flatwork I cut and mounted to a PAF base. Thinking of a P-90 winding. Could be cool. No cover though, might cosmetically suck.

    Could just be a P94...

    I'll have to try though, right! Add that extra "I made that" factor. :P

  10. Could Setzer fab you covers?

  11. Dang Strum, I'll have to ask!! Thanks!

    – mind flayer

    Saga.

  13. geesh .. mega cool builds you guys !!!!

  14. Wow, I wouldn't even think of searching for this, but I like the idea of "gretschified" non-gretsch guitars, so I'll be tuning in :D

  15. How cool that you carved your own top megabutter. I had no idea. When I first read this thread I thought you had somehow converted an actual Tenny.

  16. Wow, amazing stuff, guys! Color me jealous (ideally the same color as your guitar, Bear, that thing is bee-yuuu-teee-ful!!)! So, when do you guys open up your own guitar companies? ;-) Can't wait to see the finished products!

  17. So much for immenant, huh?

    I still need to do the clear top coats.

    However, I'm having a headstock plate made. I need suggestions. I want it to be the opposite of a Gents.

    So like, "artist name New York Urban (insert urban word for gentlemen)"?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm no wordsmith... :P

  18. call it a Country Rose

  19. unreal job btw MegaButter , i am impressed as all heck

  20. The MegaButter Urban Dandy

  21. Some words for "the opposite of a gentleman":

    roughneck
    lowlife
    tradesman
    riffraff
    Philistine
    guttersnipe
    thug
    punk

    Some "urban" words for gentleman:
    superfly
    pimp
    fly dude
    socialite
    swell
    urbanite
    culturato (plural = culturati)

  22. Urban Scallywag

  23. Socialite, Philanthropist, Dude, Mister and I think Gentleman works in this context.

  24. Ooh, personally I like the thought of "The MegaButter Urban Thug"... :D
