Prop Guitar For Hendrix Flaming Guitar Re-creation Video:

Parts are rolling in...what started as a prop is quickly becoming a custom build.

I have an old neck for the flaming video sections. This is a Fender licensed Musikraft, never been bolted up, in bare maple.

Pickguard is a Brown Tortoise, 11 hole H-H, with three pot layout.

Basic wire harness with 1 master tone and 2 volumes, 0.01uf box capacitor, Alpha 500k mini pots and a standard 3 way switch.

The twin humbuckers are Gibson Double-Slug DSC's (8.2k and 7.9k) so it will be my first time ever using them. Who knows???
 
I use the cheap and plentiful aluminum tape for the basic shielding. Then, strips of copper tape, with conductive adhesive (courtesy of Art Of Tone in Ventura, California) join the aluminum together and gives full Continuity.

To save time, I coat the pickup cavities with black conductive paint. Strips of copper tape will be applied in these areas also.

Even the hole that connects the input jack cavity and main control cavity is fully shielded 360° with copper tape.

Seems like a waste to do all this work, only to set it on fire afterwards! But, hey, that's just me! I'm a lazy S.O.B.! :ROFLMAO:

Ninja, he is just going to light a sacrificial neck on fire. Not the new neck or yellow Strat body.

Actually...

A wick will be held in place on the back of the neck by copper tape and it will be the wick that burns, so it can actually be played while on fire...
