[Knox in Box]

Needs some set up work still but even at that, I'm loving this thing. Makes me want to order another.

The paint job looks killer!

Not the colour I really wanted and it will never be mistaken for a brand new guitar. But Hell, it's a light relic.

That looks awesome and I love the color.

Now, can you make me one in olive green?

Stand in line, that was my idea for a second one, a Trini Lopez/Chris Cornell hybrid with Filtertrons.

updated photo of the tail piece, Hot glue didn't cut it, I have no idea what magic Rietze used to build world class instruments with that stuff. Super Glue all night and day.

That looks awesome!

Where did you get that body? (I say that to all the girls, lol)

If I knew I wouldn't totally screw up the set neck, I would be so tempted to build one of those.

Lookin good. Is that a matte/satin finish?

 

[jelloman]

Kick ass job, Knox!

 

[RogerF]

Fantastic build. Looks like a burnt orange color to me which is RAD!

 

[BlockInlay]

That is one fine looking guitar!

 

[DFB]

Nice job.I'd hit that.

Let's call it semi-gloss. The idea was shiny pristine and then I got it back from my buddy who had only done some really thin coats. I let it dry a few days (2k dries really fast) and liked the way the body spoke when tapped on. I polished it some but didn't want to push it to the point of possibly going through the finish. It shines but still had a hint of lemon peel and looks like an old guitar. Like I said before, not perfect, like a light relic.

Mostly just shitty lighting though, colour is Porsche Nordic Gold.

Love it.

Just plugged it into the big amp and pedal board. Sweet Jumping Jimminy Christmas these Iron Gears sound amazing. I picked the right pickups that's for sure.

Freakin' gorgeous, man!

Which Iron Gear pups did you get again?
