Hi all,
I'm a pretty recent builder, had some pretty good success with a jazzmaster style guitar which sounds good but I'm thinking about refinishing. Also starting a tele build with a bigsby and thinking about learning a bit about building pickups and refitting an old squier strat. Might have to quit my job to make time, but at least I'll have some cool axes to keep me warm...
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom, welcome to the forum, well that answers my question where you are based !
Sounds like some good plans you have to improve some of your axes. If you quit your job you won't be able to fund this new obsession so you have to find time to do this out of work time
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Sounds great Tom, welcome.
Where in Melb are you?
I'm in Geelong
Cheers
