MightySprocket Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 lmao come on than fella... fill us in, what are you making the guitar from?
Copey Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 lmao come on than fella... fill us in, what are you making the guitar from? a shoe box and some elastic bands maybe?
antz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Posted December 9, 2009 lmao come on than fella... fill us in, what are you making the guitar from? wood? actually my plan is to buy a cheap Squier Stratocaster and create a replica of the Tom Delonge Fender Strat. Should be able to do it for less than £100. £100 seems a lot but then my mate can spend that in a night on the piss I just buy shit off ebay

MightySprocket Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 lmao come on than fella... fill us in, what are you making the guitar from? a shoe box and some elastic bands maybe? Brian Mays guitar was made from an old Sideboard or Table... forgot which but his dad fashioned it from some mahogany dont think a shoe box will have the same resonance

Ste-V Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 Nothing to do with guitars as I don't have a clue about them But Antz, who is that in you avatar? I saw someone else ask once but forgotten which thread Just wondering by the way
AdamB Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 i'm sure its the paramore chick... hayley williams i love her...
stevepeanut Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 so to make this replica of that blink 182 fellers guitar, your going to take a guitar and im assuming just paint it lol. because thats all it is isnt it? just a seafoam green strat? if thats the one im thinking of. main difference is the pickups. Normal strat has 3 separate single coil pickups. Blink 182 man, has them all removed and only 1 humbucker. So its a case of painting it up, removing the 3 pickups, blanking off the holes and fitting a humbucker, oh and changing the 3 control knobs. Theres probably a few other personal mods on the guitar too.

Theres probably a few other personal mods on the guitar too. as steve said.... The Tom Delong strat has just one seymour duncan humbucker in the bridge, a hard tail bridge (no tremolo) and only one volume control. very simple really.most strats have all this single coil gubbings attached which Im not a fan of. I can build a squier tome delonge replica for about £117 including buying a brand new squier strat to butcher (without painting it cos thats too much effort)..seems better than paying £200-300 for a used squier tom delonge or £400+ for a fender one. Yes its Hayley Williams
