I've spent the past few weeks working on a few projects. Here's the Esquire & Les Paul:

The Esquire began life as a severely screwed Squier "Bullet" Telecaster, the pickups were mediocre and there was too much relief in the neck. I browsed my local guitar shops used parts bin and found a nicer pickup from 90's Squier Tele. Bought the Gotoh in-line tuners, the bridge, and ash tray off Amazon. I did the stock wiring with an orange drop cap on the tone pot with 1 ceramic cap & 1 ceramic + 3.3K resistor on the CRL 3-Way.


This '56 Goldtop Les Paul needed much less work. The Grovers were changed for Kluson Deluxes, the rusted out bridge was replaced with an USA-Made ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic, the frets were polished, and the neck pup was replaced for a P90 from a Gibson Tribute SG, it will receive a cream cover soon.

I see some nice projects showing up here. Green. Red. Black and gold. Nice work to all. Arath060, I really like that Esquire.

It's a 2004 MIK if recall. The headstock required a refinish of clear and black around the tuners since I had to dowel the original holes so they were small enough to use the kluson bushings, I also added a piece of wood so I could use the 2 point gibson truss rod cover.

Thanks! The neck is actually unique in the fact that it has no skunk stripe on the back, it's a maple cap. Also the heel of the neck is more rounded out like a strat neck. The 1-Ply pickguard needed trimming for proper fit.

Well, I think I've got the body just about done. I decided to stain the back and sides instead of painting them black. I have 6 coats of a waterborne (so it won't yellow) gloss gym floor finish on there, so it's nicely protected and looks great! I work for O'Leary Paint and we manufacture our own coatings. I have our chemist trying to source some gold flake samples, and if he can find them I'll add just a little to the clear and put on a couple more coats.







Now just have to wait for the ol' tax refund to show up so I can purchase the rest of the pieces!

Not a build but a top

Nice grain pattern in those. They'll make a good looking top.

Briguy, that is coming along nicely.

Well; wasn't happy with the fit of the Squire Pro Tone Maple Neck so sold it and picked up a Butala Banana which fits the neck pocket perfectly - nice and tight. This one is simply going to be a player so probably just going to drop it off for assembly next week.
