Picked this up for $30 so as my daughter is learning guitar this year, I thought, I'll give her a gift from Daddy and practice my skills. It will be so much fun sanding off the Hannah thing too. I have some old pickups and other stuff to install. I've ordered a new bridge and knobs, so it's down to the body business.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guitar.

Careful, that could be the next victim of the Telenapper... or not.

Very interesting, I'm keen to see progress on this.
Such a nice project to do for your daughter.
What sort of body shape & other stuff are you contemplating?
Reminds me of my "Baby Blue" mini-tele effort which to me was worth the trouble.
Looks like a short scale and guessing 3/4 full size?

Yes, 3/4 scale. Made by Washburn.
Hopefully the colour scheme and persona are the only things that need fixing as Washburn stuff can otherwise be quite good.

A very slick Washburn MG 42 neck was the genesis spark for the FrankenWashie. Despite all i've done to it, the neck itself is still wonderful to play, though it could do with a re-fret (and a completed body to go on).Originally Posted by wazkelly

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Well, we'll discover if they really are made of chipboard...
