Re: My first Homemade Axe..Copy of $3000 Charvel
I like how you didn't go overboard with the tape. You should come up with some sort of simple "Axeshredder" logo and throw it on the headstock. I'm sure KC could come up with some ideas.
Cool guitar...I would like to try and build one someday myself.

Re: My first Homemade Axe..Copy of $3000 Charvel
Hey Axe,
You said you have about $400 into this project. Can you give us a breakdown of the $$$ and also where you got the parts?
