Hey it’s Friday!
Flying V rebuild/upgrade.
This is a Tokai FV40.
I repainted in vintage cream/white.
All factory parts replaced-
Grover machine heads,
Used Seymour Duncan JB p/up,
Used Korean epi neck p/up,
Sung-Il stop tail & bridge, CTS pots etc.
3 ply scratchplate, bone nut, witch hat k***s.
All very 1970s looking. Lovely.
Finished off with frets polished, oiled board & D’Addario 10-46 strings.
It’s a great playing & sounding guitar for mid range price.

Partscaster- Dr Parts alder body- paint is blue pearl over white, new old stock Rees maple neck rosewood fret board with jumbo frets- blue pearl over black.
Floyd Rose trem, and some old used ‘90s p/ups which are good as is .. for now. I will probably change them chasing different tone! 🙄🤣 Maybe something hotter. Or I just turn the gain up on my amp.
Ready to rock.

Yesterday it was a Les Paul silver burst final clear coats. A little tint to give a lightly aged, warmer look than straight metallic silver.
Today - Schecter headstock, new decal & final clear over the metallic purple I did last week. And an upside down ‘80s shred stick with blue Pearl over black. Lovely. 🤘

Jazz master reissue, re-finish in violet.
Fender optioned auto paint back in the 1960s.
This is similar to one of those rare colours.
Slightly tinted clear, low gloss finish.
Groovy. ☮️

It’s quite satisfying removing nitro lacquer. 😁👍
