The ESP Guitar Company

Hey guys, it's been a while since I painted/posted my last project on here, that V-350. Well, I picked up an EC-400 with a Gibson 500T and 496R pickups and have began documenting the work... Heres the last project: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/MyCarSmallerpic.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/gtr2car-1.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/DSC00351.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/DSC00348.jpg Heres what I have started so far on the new project, I am painting this one themed after my brothers 1971 Chevelle SS. It is silver with black stripes. The blue chevelle is my fathers, which was the one I based the SS 396 off of, as the silver one has a 454 in it, but the 396 emblem was extra so I'm putting it to good use. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/Cars015.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec400-0.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec400-1.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec400-2.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec400-3.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec-400-4.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec-400-5.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec-400-6.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/ec-400-7.jpg This is the end of day 1, I got the guitar in the mail some hours before doing this, it does play wonderfully but the pickups are wired pretty sloppy, had to turn all three knobs down just to control the bridges volume. So it shall have new pots as well. I still have some more sanding to do before I spray the primer. I am changing the hardware to chrome as well. And yes, I am changing the headstock logo to read ESP with a custom, as I don't plan on selling this guitar nor do I care if its a fake. Its just more fun to do the work myself. Just one question if anyone knows, how do you remove the bridge posts? I think there is a special tool required to do this but for the sake of getting stuff done, I just taped them up. Anyway, just wanted to share my project.
