9 months later…

Here we are today.  Plans are the same but different.  I’m still working on the original plans, but instead of modifying the old body, I bought a new one that is already painted!  I’m gonna keep Sex Panther (sorry of) and make a new Super Telecaster named deth barby.

The website Guitar Fetish sells imported guitar kits and guitar parts (bodies, necks, etc).  They had a sale recently and I dropped the hammer.  A pink sparkly hammer.

Here is a quick video showing the sparkles

It looks cool with the neck too!

The next step is to take a router to that beauty.

Can’t leave well enough alone.  I like Sex Panther a lot.  There are some things that I would like to make it better.

I’ve been missing a Floyd Rose style guitar.  While I do have Julius Prime, it’s not really a practical guitar lol.

What do I want to make better about Sex Panther?

• Paint – I wanted it to be pinker and more flashy.
• Headstock – the size and shape of the headstock are not really what I wanted. 
• Tremolo – if you have a pink guitar, maybe it should be silly with a double locking Floyd Rose style tremolo

Let’s start with the neck…

I really want a 70’s strat style big headstock.  I can paint it black and put a bigger Sex Panther logo on it.   If it’s gonna be silly like that, might as well make it a reverse headstock lol.

Mighty Mite to the rescue.  They have a perfect neck for me.  70’s reverse strat headstock, compound radius fretboard, satin finish!

I need to modify it for the locking nut.
