I'm a little excited I built one partscaster about a month or two ago and just finished another one a week or two ago. (Don't tell anyone but parts for build 3 are on their way.) Hers is a photo of Jet:
And now Phoenix:
Jet was a loaded body and a strat neck I bolted together randomly...
New Guitar Day is here! This is the first time I've assembled a guitar from different parts providers and completely different guitars that screwed directly together and I'm psyched! It just needs stringing up and tuning and maybe a little neck realignment if it's off. Jet took me about...
Hello ladles and jelly spoons!!!
I have a question, I want to increase the size of the tuning peg holes on a neck I own. I saw a reamer on Stewart-McDonald for a little lessa $20 in the size I need. Is there anything I should know going into this as this would be my first modification of...
Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!
Look at what I can do!!! It seems that all my guitar projects have me refilling holes in necks. Not a biggie, I'm getting good at it. The last guitar I worked on was my FrankenSquier. This one is part of a new build, I call her...

Sometimes a build is never done. I just took my Squier Frankencaster and did a pickup swap with some GFS 70's style SC pickups with ceramic magnets, they sound a metric buttload better than what was in there and I have a pic of the...
There's a Christian artist by the name of Matt Maher I'm watching on a live stream on StageHop from Night of Joy at Disney and I see he's playing a thin-body Gibson. I don't know enough about Gibsons to know what it is but I figured I'd ask you gents what it is.
Here's what I know:

My two (2) project guitars. Phoenix and an as yet unnamed GFS partscaster. Phoenix is the black body/rosewood neck the GFS guitar is the yellow one. The neck for the partscaster has been ordered and should be on the way starting...
I just watched this blind audio demo concerning three different types of pickups and was surprised at which one I thought sounded best. Watch and see if you can pick out the Seymours.
I just spent quite a while researching the neck specs on the Peavey Raptor I International Series and finding nothing... I was hoping you guys could pull my fat out of the fryer as I'm looking for tuners that could fit the original holes as I don't want to spend a lot of money taking it to the...
Before I even had my latest acquisition in my hands I ordered parts for a new build. Everything but the neck is new. The body is a Paulownia strat style with a "Dano Flake" Yellow finish. Kinda weird at first but it's growing on me. A black chrome trem and a black single hum pickguard. May...
In a fit of midnite shopping on ebay I bought the parts for my first partscaster guitar. Soon after receiving said parts I realized I didn't have the skill to mount the neck to the body so a trip to my local guitar shop and $28.28 later here she is:
There's still some cosmetic stuff I want...
