Ok Charvel restoration pix are up! is that a fly...?

[Justice4all]

Ok pics are here! I bought it 3months ago for $295 New Zealand dollars. Its a 1990 Charvel Fusion Custom. It was a little beat up, body dings, scratchs, pups were rusting, Schaller Floyd was also rusting. The neck is maple with rosewood board, pretty standard for this type of Charvel.
It was finished in gun metal grey with matching painted head stock (white logo), it was completely stripped of all paint including the headstock. It now has a blood red Candy appled paint job with some slight airbrushed graphics as well and natural finished headstock with a new black Charvel logo, finished with gloss clear on the face only, the back of the neck is matt clear finished with 2500grit wet and dry sandpaper. Also a fret dress. The Schaller floyd was black, so i got it stripped off and fresh chrome plated over the whole thing. The pups are new Dimebucker bridge and two new HotStacks, middle/neck. Had to modify the single coil cavitys to fit the Stacks in, only way to tell is to remove them and look at the bottom left of each cavity, so it still looks stock on top.
All new knobs, screws, switchs, wiring... basically everything!

If anyone wants to see the "during" stages photos let me know.....

Dude, this looks great. You did a great job restoring it. You should post a "before" pic if you have one, and of course the during pics would be nice too.

[JOLLY]

That's not really my style of guitar, but I like that alot. You did one heck of a job on it!!

[BigAlTheBird]

[Hot _Grits]

Great work. Who was your paint guy?

[Jeff_H]

Awsome....looks fantastic. Love the detail on the graphics.!!!!!

[Tom M]

I love it! I've never really seen a guitar with graphics on it that I liked, but those came out killer! It almost makes me want a Superstrat...

[Justice4all]

Thanks to you all, im glad it appeals to lot of you guys! It was a real time consumer, but well worth it. Theres not one this that didnt turn out 100% correct. Heres sum stage photos.

[Justice4all]

Heres the only one i have of it b4 i started work on it. It was taken on my cell
phone, sorry 4 the quality!

[Rich_S]

Please tell me you've named it Boris.

Before/during pics, please.

That is one cool guitar, and that means a lot coming from someone who believes more than one cutaway is unnecessary.

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Well that is some conversion!!
Looks great!

[WhoFan]

Call this spider guitar BORIS!!!! Boris the spider.....

[Closed Eye]

"Welcome to my parlor..." said the spider to the fly.

I like it! It's an 80s c0ck rock type guitar that does it's thing without looking like a ridiculous neon mess or badly airbrushed piece of crap. We need clips!

[butnut]

Well done! Soild airbrush and paint work, great color. +1 for Borris.
