Here's my latest, a Slow Lorus build with only diode clipping. Low-budget build using mostly parts I had in stock. I did have to order an enclosure for it, but the first one that arrived had its powdercoating messed up - the coat was thin on the top and showing gray spots through the pink. I was too impatient to wait for the second box Smallbear sent me, so I started thinking of ways to cover up the gray spots. Then I remembered I had some samples of stick-on paisley that a guy from the TDPRI sent me a few years ago. The enclosure was a perfect color match, and I had some tan knobs that matched the decal's background.
The sound is, of course, typically Rat-nasty.

Now I have the replacement enclosure and plenty more stick-on Paisley. Hmm....
Nice job. I love the paisley! No guts? :)
Great job with the colors and knob selection. Would love to see the insides... Don't be shy :)

The guts are a mess. Since it's a parts-box build, the pots are whatever I had, don't match, and have flying leads. A Rat's nest, as it were.
Good save! looks great.
Lovely looking build! Never mind wolf in sheep's clothing, this is a rat in a hippy's kaftan ;-)
Here's the inspiration, my old friend Tina playing her MIJ Paisley at our Drexel U. 25th Reunion in 2009. The Paisley's always been a band joke with us, because the MIJ RIs first came out around 1985 when Tina was graduating and looking for a new guitar. The guys in the band were teasing when we said, "You should get a pink paisley guitar 'cuz you're a girl." Tina, who is in fact quite hippy-ish, was not offended but instead turned it around on us and thought the idea of a pink Paisley Telecaster was awesome. This is her second, the first being lost in a house fire many years ago.

I'm the fat guy with the red Nashville. I think if we ever do another reunion gig, I'm going to build Tina a combination dirt box and chorus in a large paisley box.
+1 for the matching chucks with the tele.

I am a sucker for paisley. Great job.
Can't go wrong with paisley
Awesome job!
