Always feel a bit guilty sharing my guitars on here that don't have Seymour Duncans in them, here's my latest hot off the workbench complete with a TB-14 Custom 5 Humbucker in the bridge

Pics to come- over the Xmas break I slapped together a Warmoth Charvel clone Black Korina Shredder- Floyd, single EVH hum... Just got her back today from the great Matt Brewster at 30th street guitars in NYC for the final Fret level and setup and it plays like a dream..

I had another guitar refretted and plecked, and I can tell you, a good Lutheir can do just as good a job as a plek machine and a lot cheaper

Freudian slip?

Waiting for my SSL-52 Five-Twos to arrive off of backorder. Just got my Tru Oil in the mail (you can't buy it in Canada for some reason), so now I can finish the neck.

I reshaped the neck, flattening the back, and it is symmetrical to the 7th fret, from the 7th to the nut it gets increasingly assymetrical. I put a contour gauge on it on every odd fret and traced it. I'll post the image of that if anyone wants to see it.

I made my own pick guard from birch, 1/8" thick

I have finished woodburning and staining the body, and have a few coats of nitrocellulose on it.

I'm going to wire the JB Jr. to a DPDT on-on-on switch for a series/split single/parallel option, and then wire a master tone, master volume, blend pot. (I may ask for help on the wiring schematic....)

This is my first build, and first attempt at wood-burning anything. So please be kind.

Very nice burning. Hard to believe that's your first try at it. Looks good.

I concur!

My thoughts exactly when I unwrapped that 1 piece roasted maple neck!


If anyone reading this has NOT tried an unfinished roasted maple neck...you owe it to yourself as a guitar player to at least try one!

This is a fact. I can't imagine ever wanting any thing else.

Scored an Ibanez Prestige neck in a sad state - cracked heel,binding missing, frets badly leveled.Decided to make a travel guitar with it - Paduak body, Mocked up with a dirty ol' Dimarzio but I have a SD I could put in it - Anyone tried a coil tap on a Dimebucker - how was the single coil tone?

**** yeeeeeeee. I love that idea. Wood becomes a heap cheaper in sizes like that. Could score a nice burl and still have an ******* after.

BroMah How much bigger is the overall size compared to a standard s pickguard? Looks the samboes.

I used an RG pickguard template to shape the body

I've got Flamed Roasted Maple - smells delicious like Maple Syrup when cutting and routing

Squier Classic Vibe body (pine? looks like it, doesn't sound like basswood) & parts, Squier Mike Dirnt neck & tuners, and a handwound pup I got off ebay by pacnwguitars for $50 (wound to 7.7k).

So far, I'm digging it. It rings pretty well, but it's a touch neck heavy.

I'm thinking it needs a w/b/w pickguard...
