I'd love to see a kit in the style of the new Fender sixty six. It's essentially a guitar, with a j-bass shaped body. They're super sharp, but aren't offered in the finishes/pickup configuration I'd...
I also vote for the bass vi kit! I have wanted one since the first time I saw "This is Spinal Tap"
"This guitar can never be played. Don't even LOOK at it"
A couple of you asked to see this guitar when I got it finished. I finished it up tonight. There are more photos of it over in the photo gallery section ...
I posted some photos of this one during construction in the wiring help forum, and a few folks said they wanted to see it completed, so...here she is. I'm really happy with how this build turned...
Thanks so much everyone. I'm going to go to Lowe's (our home improvement/hardware mega-store) tomorrow with one of the pots in my picket and see what I can find!
As far as the wire, it actually...
Holy sh##! Brilliant idea with the tubing. I'll be shopping for some tomorrow (it's currently around 1am here in my part of the states) where would one find some tubing like that? Hardware store?...
Hello ladies and gentlemen! Hope all is well with all of you.
So, as shown in my previous posts, I have built and customised a ton of guitars over the years, but this is my first Hollowbody,...
Yes, I realize it's not an SG...and that Hollow Bodied guitars are thicker than solid bodied ones. Thanks for that gem of wisdom, and the helpful comment.
Just spoke with Adam. 84mm is the magic...
Greetings, folks!
I have a question that I has hoping one of you could answer for me.
I plan on ordering a GR-1SF kit in 2 days when I get paid, but i'm a bit confused about the thickness of...
Ok...so I have refinished quite a few guitars, and built 2 from scratch.
My next project however, is the first guitar I have ever done that has an actual bunding around the body.
I'm going...
I used Duplicolor automotive paint and Clear. It's the exact same combination that I used on the telecaster I pictured above the strat! I wanted the finishes to be an exact match, so I made sure to...
I didn't use anything to fill the grain. I used minwax pre-stain, then put 3 coats of minwax special walnut on it. I let the stain dry for 4-5 days before spraying the black around the edges, then...
I am building a companion 70's strat to match my tele deluxe. I built the tele from a kit, but I had a ridiculous amount of strat parts laying around, so all I really needed was a clean body that I...
Thank you very much, Stan. The Tele plays amazingly, and not to brag, or sound pompous...I think my finish looks better than anything I've seen from fender in a while. I'm very very pleased with...
Well, as I read through all of the rules for this little competition, I realized I had another eligible entry. This is my 1968 Univox Custom. I've always had a thing for 60's and 70's Japanese...
Well, I had hoped this would be a Pitbull Build, but the Tele Deluxe Kit was back ordered when I had the means to purchase it, so I kind of had to order what I could. I ended up getting a kit from a...
Yeah, it really has. The coolest thing, when Johnny walked off stage at the Ramones final show, he handed the white Mosrite to Arturo Vega, a long time friend of the band. "I guess I don't need this...
Johnny Ramone originally had a blue Mosrite that he bought for 54.00 because it was the cheapest guitar in the store...hence the tribute model being offered in blue, but discontinued. The blue one...
In the late seventies, Johnny Ramone lost the tone knob on his Mosrite Ventures 2 while on tour. Being a broke punk rocker, he stole a knob (I've heard 2 versions of the story) either off of a Les...
It finally appears that I have figured it out! Here are two photos of my JR Elite one with my EGNATER amp (shameless plug) and one of it lying on the bed when I brought it home!
...
I apologize for the language, I removed the offensive word. I get carried away from time to time. Again, my apologies. I don't use forums often, so let me see if i can figure out how to post...
So...just as I got the money saved to buy my MK2 kit, I get a call from my aunt who's a physician/sometimes musician. She had bought an electric cello and an amp and she wanted me to come over and...
Well of course I'm going with a solid color....a little color called JOHNNY RAMONE WHITE!
Hey Gavin,
One more question about your Mk-2.
I think I've decided to go with the ash, because I'm used to Les Pauls, and I actually like a heavy guitar.
How do you feel about the hardware...
Thanks Adam.
I plan on getting my order in in the next few days, as soon as my eBay stuff sells and I have the extra money!
