That Gibson will clean up. Just wipe down those strings with some rubbing alcohol.

I’m in the process of clearing out a relative’s house...there is a coffee table with a “well” or shelf built into the top covered very tightly with thick glass so you can view the trinkets underneath. One of the trinkets was an old drinking horn made from resin or something....we think!
Everything under that glass is completely nuked from the off-gassing chemical reaction...anything that was metal looks like it was raised from the Titanic....very similar to that Gibby.

I like that a lot. Quite lovely. What's it made of parts wise?

I'll guess it's a roasted neck - did someone do a relic finish on the Firemist Gold Metallic (?) body or is it vintage?

 

[MascisMan]

Thanks guys. The body is an aged Firemist from MJT and the neck is a roasted maple/rosewood J neck from Warmoth. I did the aging on the hardware. The pickup is a Lollar P with a Gunstreet Volume Bleed harness.

Since these pics were taken I actually replaced the bridge with a Hipshot KickAss that I also aged.

His post said pg broke and couldn't find another...that was his solution, such as it may be.

Almost looks like a Jason Smith thing.

He’s done it several times with his builds.
