Just like Tony! Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thickened the body today by 12mm to allow for battery and electronics to be concealed.

Great work

Gets ugly before it gets pretty..... but im making progress

Back into the "Lefty" Flasher today...

That fucker is carved out (routed) like a Halloween Pumpkin. That's precision work Tony!

Amazing

Thanks Kev, steady hand makes for good lines.

Yep Vic u see now why i add 10mm to the rear of the guitar to give it a solid base, battery, electronics and the light board all have to fit before the face plate can be installed...got it down to a fine art now.

Getting the control panel sorted.

Nice work Tony.

You are doing a good thing here. Lefty's need love too.

More lefty Love happening

All the body work is done, 2nd coat of highfill primer and some natural baking...

Cool to look at the Australian Countryside in the background. Things look nice and green!

Well Kev, if some people like to live in the desert that is the greater LA area................

Geez, I'm still mowing my yard EVERY week! It grows 2 inches plus every week. Just starting to turn in Oz though. We had first snow in the alps today....2 months early! Tell me what that Global Warming thing is again???? (Apart from a huge money grab)

Yep green allright we get enough rain.

I live in a hilly / canyon area at approximately 1,700 feet above sea level. We normally get between 15 and 20 inches of rain per year. Mostly between October and April. This year has been exceptionally dry with maybe about 6" of rain and the countryside which would typically be green into May has already turned brown. This was a La Nina year with the colder ocean currents off the California Coast. In an El Nino year we get blessed with just the opposite and typically a split jet stream that funnels storms toward California from both the Southwest and Northwest. Those years we can get over 30 inches of rain in my area.

I like the rain as it keeps things clean and the countryside more scenic.

Shram,
I live between the coast and the desert in what is considered a grassland climate

I can get that in 1 day!

A 20 min drive south of where I live,

Andrew,
So much for Australia being a desert! You live near this mountain?

"In 2010, Queensland's wettest year on record, the top station on the mountain recorded 12,438.4 mm (489.70 in), just under the 2000 record".

Does it rain every fucking day? LOL

Just for the record ive never been so interested in Banana's in all my life !

Ok back to the post, light board for "Lefty" done while the paint is drying

Base coat silver going on the "lefty" and yes thats some awesome Aussie sun and my AE-86 Sprinter in the background.

Nice man!

Testing the board, got a couple need replacing but its getting close.

looking great mate! from a fellow lefty ....

More work on the "lefty", all electronics fitted inside and currently testing the circuit.....not long now and it will be leaving the nest and on its way to South Australia.

Magic!
