BUILDING A SAGA S-STYLE


Note from GuitarAttack:  We love Cadillacs and we love guitars.  What a great combination!  Check out that killer inlay!  Great work!

 

 

From Jason Falzone

Dear GuitarAttack,

First off I just want to say you have one hell of a site. There are so many beautiful pieces that fire my mind in so many different directions it crazy! Well on to what I emailed you for... I had always wanted to build a guitar and when I found the Saga Strat kit I knew that was going to be my first and it was going to hold a special place in my heart.

 
Before my father passed, the one thing that we both loved was his 1983 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in Balboa Blue which was in a major car accident.  Sadly we had no choice but to get rid of it and the day it left it felt like a piece of what we both shared left forever. So I had painted the guitar the exact same color as my father's 83 Cadillac CoupeDeVille along with my own custom design on the pickguard with his name made as an ambigram as well as the Cadillac symbol inlay at the top fret.  This was my first inlay!
 
Custom parts include the pickguard, black pearloid tuners, copper lined cavities, and re-wrapped the pickups. The paint I used was from the website automotivetouchup.com and I used my own spray guns from Walmart.

 

Here is the finished kit, and I think it looks great.

I have a couple new kits lined up Custom Jimi Hendrix flying V with my own custom paint based off of Purple Haze, and my 25th birthday Les Paul kit with gold hardware and custom pups on a gold candy apple red paint job (in due time... lol but I promise to upload pix when i get to it)
Thanks Again,



Jason Falzone
