EVH Tribute

Mike the owner of the guitar, dropped it off with all the bits. The guitar was already painted red and had a couple of white lines on it, and we did the rest…

This is a 7 sting with a set through neck and active Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups.

Yep, it a real beast of a guitar.

Breakdown of project

• The white lines had to be touched up
• We then painted additional black and white lines on by hand to match the ones on there, giving it a relic type of thing like the original. (no good having neat symmetrical lines as it would look all wrong)
• Painted the headstock with matching type lines.
• Lacquered the headstock face and entire body (not the neck).
• Cleaned frets and the fretboard.
• Drilled out tuner holes and fitted tuners.
• Fitted locking strap buttons.
• Drilled out bridge post holes and fitted bridge posts and bridge.
• Fitted pickups and threaded wiring through to the backend.
• Installed pots, mega switch and battery
• Soldered everything up including capacitor.
• Fitted chrome jack socket surround and finished soldering.
• Tested electrics.
• Fitted control knobs and switch button.
• Made 2 covers for the back and a truss rod cover.
• Fitted strings.
• Full setup including, neck, bridge and intonation.
• Plus loads of other small bits and bobs.

Enjoy it Mike!
