The Frankenstrat is finished!

Adrian at ASH Custom Works finished the paint job on the Frankenstrat last week and I received the completed body earlier this week :)

It was all wired up, ready for final re-assembly.  The paint has turned out great!

Quite possibly, the best part though is the custom-made pickup he made for the guitar.  It’s based on the specs of Ed’s original pickup, and boy does it sound good.  Very clear and defined, loves tons of gain, but cleans up really well with the volume backed off.

Anyway, here’s the photos:

I’ll get round to making a video of it in action soon!

    A Chameleon Sky

     
    The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
