Mad scramble to clean the shop today, company arriving tomorrow along with ThunderBucker^TM Pickup Prototypes. Thought I'd get some finished snaps before I started.

The Early Bird

Gets the Worm? This guy greeted me when I stepped out to take a whiz, I think he's the new mascot. Or Overlord

Agree, but I think, considering the band JAE was in, I woulda made the top of the "d" into an arrow as in:

Thanks, simple logos for (my) simple mind. I don't have a spraybooth, just 20 years of shooting paint. The amount of overspray is minimal with the right air pressure, paint viscosity and gun settings. You could easily get away with a 4'x8' sheet of OSB with15x15" cutouts and 2'x8' side wings using filter media with no exhaust fan.

I considered it but figured the light blocky letters on black were enough of a reference. Seems to have worked.

Might as well be. He's not Boris, only has 6 legs. Thanks, Kenny.

You can say that again ! Btw John my deep cutaway Fenderbird is making progress, Carlo has lit a fire under me.

clankenstein · April 20, 2011, 04:55:33 PM

thats looking really really good.i hope your pickups work out great too.

Barklessdog · April 22, 2011, 11:30:42 AM

Black, no less- the hardest color to do on a guitar- nothing like a nice challenge. Can't wait to see your cutaway Fbird Scott.
