Yusss!!! It’s home! My first ever full build!

[JerEvil]

So I started this about 10 months ago. It’s sat for the last 3 months or so just waiting for a control plate cover and final setup. I also swapped the bridge I originally had on there.

It had the Hipshot piano bridge but felt really weird under hand.

• Ash Body
• Mahogany neck
• Ebony fretboard
• Arcane Doom 90 pickups (15k bridge, 10.5k neck)
• Dunlop locking tuners
• Gotoh bridge
• All fretwork, level/crown/polish




Set up in D standard currently.

I did 90+ % of the build under the guidance of my buddy. This is one of his brands models. The brand is Margasa Custom and the model is the Kashmir. He’s also the owner/builder of Valkenburg USA of whom I have an Sig model.

But here’s what I actually did:
• Planed the wood by hand
• Cut the body
• All pickup and neck pocket routing
• Routed the German Carve
• Glued the neck
• Painted and relic’d all myself
• routed for and installed all hardware
• SOME of the wiring (poorly)

My bud actual cleaned up all my shit wiring as I can’t solder for fuck all. Overall I LOVE the guitar. I do call it a stripper though, as from the stage it’s hawt AF. Up close, it’s a little busted here and there! lol!

It was an amazing experience though and has definitely got me wanting to build more.

Would bang that stripper 10/10.

The Kid Sig model! Congrats man, love the unique yet somehow familiar aspects about it.

Killer work!

Tell me about those pickups. Are they just Iommi-ish P90s?

I thought Jer spelled it The Khed but I could bring myself to replicate that spelling

Holy shit! Going through the vids… there a LOT of potty talk! lol.

Me and my boy are both old ass New Englanders so a lot of jokes about buggering each others moms, dick jokes and general profanity…

I’m going to have to get some good “bleep” sounds for a lot of this…
