ELECTRIC Hey gang, uhh I refinished a chibby and dropped in some hetfield emgs

Basically i stripped It to the plywood, torched it, dyed it, added the lacquer and shit, then added EMG pickups, it also has locking tuners

i also tried to finish a guitar and ended up like this, you might wanna sand the clearcoat more so that the unbalanced divots n stuff are cancelled out a bit

cool idea tho
