Alright, back to pictures.

I know its old news by now but RIP Richard Right. So sad that I never got to see them live.

Nice work, I like the personal art and color here.

thanks john. I kept the idea of staying away from decals and improving my painting skills a little

Bahahahaha, that is the funniest thing I have seen all week.

Still, an Eddie Vedder pic is so powerful it can convey most human emotions.

back on topic... my latest "creations" (actually not really on topic, as they are not stompboxes...)

the mirror tele... made for a friend of mine who plays in a Muse tribute band. notice the huge amount of knobs and switches...

and my Marshmallow amp!!!! I spent quite some time on it... but it was worth it!! I made it using the approach "re-invent the wheel": it was the first time I worked seriously with wood, tubes, leather, steel... and I can say I made it myself! all of it!!

the front panel is not finished yet... but I guess it will take long time, now that the whole amp works I don't feel like putting my hands on it anymore...

sorry for the crappy pictures, my camera's autofucus is broken and I had to find the focus moving it back and forth and guessing from the lcd screen...

+1 on that. I've seen some pretty cool mirror finishes before, but that one looks amazing--I'd love to see some better angles.

earthtonesaudio · October 01, 2008, 11:46:35 AM

+1 for more "mirror tele" pics. That looks really cool. Muse is awesome by the way.

The Marshmallow is cool too, great execution, especially for your first time working with all those materials. That deserves major props.

frank_p · October 01, 2008, 12:16:22 PM

How do you make a mirror finish like that ?
Nice !!!

Franky · October 01, 2008, 01:32:44 PM

You can use an aluminium plate with belgom to make it shine..

A friend of mine did some like that (Mattocaster Replicas):

Thanks for the additional pics! That thing looks great

I don't think I'd ever want to put a mirror finish on any of my guitars--simply for the fact that I'd never be able to keep it clean

MarcoMike · October 01, 2008, 01:55:27 PM

that one looks much nicer than the one I made... damn! I used a similar technique, I found a mirror-like plastic thing at the diy shop and glued it to the guitar. it's quite flexyble, so I could make the borders too.

Jacob, yes, it's a very "sensitive" finish for a guitar, not sure it would be good for me either... as I wouldn't be able to walk on high heels,

but someone does...

Yep, my friend did a bass guitar with that material, but it's a pain to keep it scratchless..

One day I'll have something like this....
