Operation underdog

[Jared]

Hi operation underdog is my second tele build . The idea here was to use only small/ privately owned companies or business.so no companies like wormoth, long and mcquiad and guitAr Center ect were used for the actual build . The specs are a walnut version of a 69 thinline , bigsby b5 and vibrio mate ,ratio locking tuners , joe Borden compisit saddles , schaller strap locks, a 21 fret walnut neck with a striped macascar ebony fretboard . The neck is a .99” from top to bottom with that delightful vintage u shape . It will be getting a fender pro tweed case . I only used small companies to get my parts . My pickups are not ordered yet but will be in due time . The companies I used were

Ayrguitars ( Ontario Canada ): all my hardware and Pauo ferro pickguard ( real wood)
Tonebomb (Alberta Canada): neck and body . The neck is in the process of being made
Dark moon pickup ( nyc USA ): a set of custom wound pickups .and custom wire harness
Real instruments ( Charlotte town Pei ) will be doing the final setup on this beauty .
The case will be coming from long and mcquaid ( summerside PEI )
My case will have stickers of all the companies I felt with for my project . And I’m playing on using a small business from not too far from my house to get a decal of a dog and the words “ the underdog project “ to put on the case . Let me know what you think . Remember support your small local companies . You could be the difference from making them float or sink .

wow! that's going to be a a knockout!
I like your attitude too. When you deal with a small business, you put food directly on the guys table.

Deady's comments are spot on.

I go to my local small music store before I look online

That’s a lovely looking guitar in the making mate, love the underdog concept as well. Certainly a worthy ethic to emulate. Look forward to seeing the project come together.

I love the whole concept behind the operation underdog project, Aussie businesses are doing it pretty tough nowadays ever since the federal government implemented the GST system of taxing, I've personally been having a hard time getting my head around it, anyway, anything that makes it easier for small businesses is good in my book, one small local business here in Darwin, the Happy Yess club, has been going through some pretty hard times lately, and a good mate of mine is working on untangling all the business stuff, the Happy Yess club is a local non-profit music venue that caters for local Darwin musicians, there used to be an open-mic, jam night on every Thursday, but unfortunately they had to cancel it due to funding issues.


By the way, I reckon the guitar is going to look really cool once it's finished, can't wait.
