Building the RWB franky!

Post by Dunkmop » Fri Jan 17, 2014 11:04 am

Hey,

All the parts are finally coming together and I'm looking to build a relatively accurate RWB franky guitar. I haven't got everything yet, but the body will probably take long enough to finish, so I thought I better start somewhere!

I am wondering if anybody has archived high res/good pictures of the RWB in a library anywhere that I can use as reference, and/or download??

I live in the UK, so if anyone has attempted to build one this side of the water; what paint do you recommend coating the body with? What do you guys in the States use (if I have to order from there, then so be it)?
