^ neat. make me a lap steel?
yeah, for me it was the condition of the pickguard and pickup covers compared to the use on the knobs and neck that said it wasnt totally original... still very cool. Cleaned up circuitry and shielding isnt a bad thing for real world use. Nice projects you got going on btw.
Speaking of guitars. Here are some things I get into when I'm not thrifting.
Spoilered for the people who couldn’t care less.
I wanted a Jaguar version of Elvis Costello's walnut Jazzmaster. Similar versions exist but they usually cost well over $1000 and I didn't want to spend that much. I used some online software to make this thing.
Bought some pieces:
pre-stain
one coat of minwax walnut stain
mock-up with hardware after clearcoat dried:
wanted different pickguards than a normal Jag but I only had a regular Jag pickguard so I busted out the jeweler's saw.
another mockup with pickups installed
I just have to wire the whole thing up now which is daunting as hell.
next two projects:
1. stripping, refinishing, refret, rewire, basically completely redoing this old Italian guitar
I'm also building a Vox Teardrop out of a couple cutting boards from Ikea.
. Yes please
