Yes I'm sick or the uncomfortablw feel of my warlock so i'm making it into a Jackson Warrior.......why I like the body style and its gonna give me time to kill and practice for my Semi V build. First of all i have to show the headstock i gave lipo to tonight then the body template so here gose ........i'll keep you updated as i progress. Also i'm gonna get pics and start a thread for the Bass I Ibanezed/Yellow Blackified........anyways that what i got to do right now.

how does that fit over the warlock? aren't the corners a little long or does it work?

Yeah I'm gonna have to chop the Lock up a bit and add fins and wings but i like the shape so I'm sticking to this.........Its a perfect fit over the Warlock body......not the wings however thus i'm gonna get more alder and chop the Wlock up a bit. Though i won't have to do surgery anywhere near the Pickup routes or the tail piece holes........What do you think of the "new" head stock shape?

Wow i spaced on th pics of progress no idea why i do that everytime but pics tommorow for any of you waiting to see my completed peice i lie the feel of it i altered the warrior shape some but it retains its influence and I painted it with chevy Orange engine block enamal.......yeah sounds like a bad idea but it is tough and can now resist oil water and fire.......anyways just wanted to tell you guys whats been up with me the last month.

Thank You Well Jim I think you'll maybe like the rest of it....Well maybe it is a radical body but it looks tits to me......its nice looking all thanks to the use of a band saw and some glue oh and maybe some bondo......(>.<)........i'm finally understanding what you guys mean when you say band saws make the work easy and accurate........grated i still love my coping saw. Well here it is The head stock And the back The front

There are some blems on it but they are only noticable up close I used Engine enamel for the paint......which in some areas was a little thick and kinda became rubbery but the thinner areas are harder than standard paint and dried 12x's faster.......it took 3days to cure completely. And thank you guys for the comments.

Thanks Jim
