This is coming along real nice Scott. That tool is at carbatec for over $80 so you got a good deal.

I'm working on an ES-1gt and have found the same problems you have with an asymmetric headstock,...

Hey Willem. I found this video real useful when I started sanding my first body.

The guy points out that sanding, especially on the ends and sides,...

Another fantastic tele Gav!

Loving the shine. What acrylic clear did you use?

It's a bugger to load in through the f-hole Nick but I agree that the circuit itself shouldn't be too hard.

I actually think that if you build the wiring loom on a template outside of the guitar...

Welcome aboard csim.
I'm about to start one of these and have also upgraded to gold AC4 Toneriders. Tony makes a good point about checking the pots for fit. You could probably find some extra nuts...

That gold hardware looks real good against the tones in the burst. It's hard to predict how something like this will come together when starting out with a clean piece of timber but I reckon you've...

That looks fantastic Tony. I really like the gold hardware against the red. Can't wait to see this one finished!

"Intervention Team" sounds like the Pitbull house bands name. See them Sunday arvos at the Naughty Corner Hotel and pizza garden.....

Good to hear Wokka. I'll be trying to blend gold through red into black DT soon enough. Will start a build diary and share the results once I get going.

Looking forward to seeing this tele...

Thats a real nice burst Wokka. I take it the dingotone gold and the FW tints blended easily?

Hi Sam,

Thats looking good. I'm about to try something similar and have just received my Dingotone in the mail and will experiment tomorrow.

What black dye did you use and how far did you...

G'day Tom.

I've got an ES-1GT sitting in the wings waiting for me to start on it. Have done a little homework on hardware upgrades including a Bigsby. Looks a B7, B70 or B700 is the go for these...

Thanks for the comparison photo Gav. Looks like you've still got some space on that wall :)

I've just ordered an ES-1GT tonight and have started scratching my head over colour and hardware...

That turned out real nice Gav!

Any chance of a shot of it alongside it's hollowbody stablemates for comparison? ...or maybe to fuel a few cases of GAS?

Dennis.

Hi Tony,

I've been thinking of building a 335 for a little while now. Might have to splash out now that Adam has these as the Sunday special. I'll be watching this build with interest.

What...

No worries mate!

I've been lurking a bit lately hoping to maybe order an ES-1G soon. Your builds have been on my radar and the burst on your ESB among some other recent builds has me thinking of a...

Hi Gav,

You're right, these two circuits are electrically equivalent. The second drawing is probably the easiest way to lay the wiring out in practice since the caps with their solid leads will be...

Thanks for posting the circuit Lawry. It sounds great! Reckon I might have a crack at building one of these in a couple of months.
@Kane building this would be a great warm up to building an amp.

Lawry this looks real interesting to me. Could you post a schematic and parts list? I've built all sorts of gadgets and test boxes for work over the years but never anything with a valve in it. I'm...

Gav, I can't wait to see this finished. That ash body grain just looks fantastic. Will you be using the holes on the bridge plate as a guide for drilling through the body with a drill press?
...

Sweet looking bass Pablo! I'm loving that colour scheme - so simple and clean looking. That's a really tasty shade of green. Hope to see some full length shots in natural light. Great work mate!

Well done Brendan that case looks great. The wiring doesnt look dodgy at all - I've seen plenty worse.

What's the next project?

Brendan, I've used a few boxes like this in the past for test and adapter boxes at work. I would clean the surface with a scotchbrite pad and cleaning solvent then apply any lettering and follow up...

That's come up a real treat Pedro.

I was in town (Adelaide) after work tonight and spent ten minutes or so looking at a wall of guitars in a shop. Strictly research into colour combinations for a...

Oh man... that rug really ties the room together. ;)

Wish I had a space like that to hang out in. I'm especially digging that Headstock Guitar Lounge artwork in front of the amp.
