    Number Plate Guitar

    I recall seeing a forum thread about a number plate guitar. I've just found this tin plate in my storage. I may turn into an axe and quite ironically it won't be 'Top Gear'

    nice one Ponch, it was one of Kimball's recording software plug in threads earlier this week that the topic radically changed. Cool plate man. All I've been thinking all week is the design of the numberplate axe. I'm going to go a pine solid body so I can mount a F type 6 string neck. My buddy Wayne is planning a plywood made box and 4 string CBG style neck.
    Look forward to your build diary Ponch !
    Had a look on Ebay and can get US plates posted for about $12-14 each

    Nice one Woks. I was thinking similar with a bolt in f type neck &. single humbucker coil split with a tele bridge (no pup style)

    been a productive last 24 hours, managed to buy the materials, glued the body, routed neck pocket and mini humbucker cavities, cut the plate to suit, just going one volume push pull coil split on the mini bucker. Here's some progress pics
