I guess the Stained & Burned finish superstrats (see previous posts) I build a while ago were just too weird of a finish, so I decided to go for a full re-finish on these guys.

It’s crystal clear where to cut. What could ever go wrong?

FOR SALE 2895€ with shipping included within continental EU.

Kammo with red crystalline finish and black bevels on ash-wood body; neck-thru-body neck at 25.5″ scale length; Gabon Ebony fretboard with 24 stainless steel frets and “Valknut” mother-of-pearl inlay; @g_gotoh510 GE1996T Floyd Rose with Kiiras Red Titanium Hardware, SG381 tuners, and @fishmanmusic Fluence Modern pickups.

This is the one from a previous post of me using the wrong body-shape template on a customer guitar and had to rebuild one from scratch as I had this one half-completed on woodworking.

Anyway, decided to use it as “test bed” for a new crystalline finish.

Please contact me at my new author profile @seymour_ice for a beta-read copy.

I’ve been cooking this up for four years now as a mostly holiday project. It started as a creative writing excerice, which is now the prologue for the novel.

It’s all written in English, which, weirdly, is a more familiar language to me in literature; vast majority of books and novels I’ve read have been in English.

The novel is now in, what I call, MVP state. Not ‘most valuable player’, but Minimum Viable Product: all the story is there, all the twists and turns, all characters, all everything. But there are also rough edges, unpolished prose (the actual text), clunky descriptions, lacking information, spelling errors, etc. I need to smooth out.

Length is about 85,000 words, typical length for a thriller / mystery novel; similar in length to ‘the Hobbit’, ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’, or about 1/3 the length of ‘A Game of Thrones’

If I’d use guitar building as an analogy, it’s now finished woodworking and one could install all the hardware and start playing. But for an actual product, I’d need to do finish sanding, stain, lacquer, fret level and polish, etc. before assembly.

I hope to find about a dozen beta-readers from any and all walks of life, no prior experience as a literary critic required. In fact, I’d prefer the opinions of your average Joe and Joanna.

I’ve had this read by few people in incomplete state, from 1/3 to 3/4 the way through. I’ve received only positive feedback, some that are in the reel video.

For those who volunteer and are chosen as a beta-reader (I can handle about a dozen at most), I’ll think of a reward of some sort. Most likely a physical copy of the novel once it’s finished and, most likely, self-published.

No generative AI / GPT was used. Saddens me I even have to mention that.
