Re: Little Buster
Second coat of stain finished the front and side. Nice dark brown. I filled a small crack in the forearm contour with grain filler. Seems to have worked.

Re: Little Buster
I have two coats of clear on currently. It is still sucking the paint in.

Re: Little Buster
Starting to finally get enough clear in it for it to begin to get glossy!

Re: Little Buster
Awesome project, I bought an Epiphone EB0 in high school when FLCL first came out - a RIC was a bit outside my budget.
I have not yet finished Progressive; seems nowhere near as engaging as the first series, but cool that there's a Jazzmaster and a '57 Chevy in it.

Re: Little Buster
How'd I miss this for so long? Way cool! FLCL is one of the few anime I enjoy, and ricks are both awesome and a fine thing to "knock off", as it were, IMO. They go after people selling their used Greco copies on ebay, so it's always nice to see someone have their cake and eat it too.
I always enjoy seeing your projects.

Re: Little Buster
Thanks! I appreciate it. I get why they need to protect their designs and such. I just wanted to make something for myself that had what I wanted. I could spend $3k on a Rick, but I don't like the pickups and bridge. I am also not huge into 3x3 tuners. Six in line is my favorite. This will have the stuff I like in a color I like with contours I like. If I could get a Rick the way I want one, I would consider that price. $3k is sort of steep for a mod guitar...

Re: Little Buster
Should be able to get the neck on the body in a couple weeks when I go on break. I am letting the body cure still.

Re: Little Buster
The pots, jack with plate, knobs, toggle, and pickups are coming in. Should be able to finish this around the holidays when I am off from work. I ordered Gibson 400's pickups with chrome covers.

Re: Little Buster
That looks killer! I love how they're the same pickups, but mounted differently. Looks so good with the chrome and black
