Most Eastwood guitars don't really appeal to me all that much. But they're just about to release a copy of that oddball Grand Funk guitar. I always kind of wondered what Mark Farner was playing. http://www.myrareguitars.com/messenger.html Actually, I'd rather have it in black. Throw a...

I was looking through the Wayne guitars that're currently available (not that I can afford one). Just wondering if they were doing anything close to the MetalliTele I was kinking around. This is their in stock page: http://www.wayneguitars.com/in_stock.html I kind of like this tiger finish...

I know I should be finishing my FrankenStrat, but... I just pasted this together tonight with Kisekae and photoshop. Maybe this'll be my next project after my humbucker Strat, and my 2nd Esquire. Might be a fun guitar. I kind of like how the reverse hockey stick works with the Tele body..

Someone I know who plays bass was telling me about this company last night. http://www.littleguitarworks.com/ "The standard amount of twist is 15 degrees at the bridge, and 20 degrees at the nut, for a total rotation of 35 degrees." Bizarre!

Does anyone know where I can find any BroBucker clips? I was looking through what's listed in the Custom Shop section for a bridge humbucker for the FrankenStrat I'm working on, and the BroBucker looks like it has some possibilities...

This is along the general idea of what I was thinking of for a single humbucker Strat. Just kind of pasted together with parts I have sitting around. That red body weighs a ton though so I'm not about to use that, but I wanted to mess around with how things fit together. Probably not with a...

I had to do a search on "Limited Edition", I guess it's just a one-off where they don't make many of them, and I guess they think that'll give them collector value, but I think they're wrong. But I kind of like the lemon-drop type of top on this one. They're selling it "AS-IS" though. The...

I decided I should finally put together an Esquire last night. Something I've never done. This is all parts I've used before on other things. Except for the Stewmac pickguard I had sitting around, and I taped over the pickup hole with black tape, and filled from the back with silicon...

I'll have to find someone better than Gibson to build it for me, but it'll be worth it!!!

I was scrolling through the Webspecial bodies at USACG for no particular reason http://www.usacustomguitars.com/bodyspecials.asp I usually don't like ash grain all that much.

http://www.guitardaterproject.org/epiphone.aspx A friend mentioned getting a used Epi Les Paul. Seemed like a good price. I would have jumped on the deal. He said he thought it was a '91, because the serial number started with 91. I was thinking, Gibson are the 1st & 5th numbers, and the 3...

Elderly has a couple cheap used guitars that're realy tempting for me right now. This is one that made me stop, but I really can't buy it. http://www.elderly.com/vintage/items/30U-14227.htm Reminds me a little of the '98 Les Paul Junior Special using right now. The '70s Walnut version of...

These are a couple Schaller Golden '50s humbuckers that I've had sitting around for about 25 years, mostly because the wiring instructions are very unclear. But Stewmac's instructins for Schallers is a lot clearer, and now I see where the essential info is on the Schaller sheet. Well hidden...

There're a few youtube videos of this guy playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATub40Npxik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfqu4YEufYc&NR=1 I really never wanted to play like this, but some of it's pretty impressive. Pete
