Lyn #12 - The Pine Tele

[robin]

There you go Warren, avatar changed.

2 projects in mind at present.

The first one will probably be a bass kit from Adam. I've played bass for many years and have 2 very nice basses, but a 'Lyndian" to use at Church would be very special. Still doing a bit of research into exactly what I want but it will just be a 4 string. The singers at Church use the key of D quite a bit so I have been alternating between standard tuning and Drop D tuning of late and really don't see the need to go to a 5 string. I'm pretty much a traditionalist at heart. lol.

The 2nd project will need a lot more research before I decide so not much to tell there. But it will be another scratch body 6 string guitar of some description.

Cheers mate

Amazing work Robin! Looks absolutely fantastic :-)

[ShazzRandom]

It looks amazing Rob! I'm upset that I missed this build diarys pregression! I have only just come across this

[robin]

Thanks crundes, she turned out better than I could have hoped.

Thanks Shazz, you didn't miss much mate. No cool time lapse videos here. It was slow progress so they would have looked pretty boring, plus I'm camera shy. 😉

Camera shy or not that is a great piece of wood turned into a sexy looking guitar.

Thanks Wazza, I was pleasantly surprised as its only junk laminated pine from the big green shed.

After you get released from the naughty room for shopping at the big green shed, that is

Seriously though, that is an amazing axe.
Thanks for sharing this adventure with us Robin, I am sure we all learned a few things.
I have stolen your magnet idea and it is now a standard feature on all my builds

[wokkaboy]

haha Rob I will have a cold pint for your arrival in the naughty warehouse

[robin]

so what's the next build Rob ?

Hey Warren, as I am primarily a bassist I thought I would finally make myself one. It will be nothing special, and as I already own a Fender Jazz I will probably go for a basic kit like the MMB-4.

I am in the planning and research stages of the build after that which will be another scratch body 6 string guitar.

I will pass on the beer thanks mate, but a nice glass of wine, hmmmmm, the naughty warehouse is looking better all the time.
