I have this cheeky little number. It now sports a zebra JB in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck with triple shots.


Sent from my TARDIS using timey-wimey talk.

My '05 Mexican Strat. I bought it just for the color. This pic isn't very good, but at the moment, it's the best shot that I have of the guitar.

I built this one, an Esquire based on Francis Rossi's famous green Tele.

During the staining process:

With a little gloss lacquer:

Almost done:

I played it for some time, but eventually pulled and sold the neck. It was a bit too boxy for me. I'll be putting a fat V neck on it down the line. I can't wait to get it back in action, because it's a good sounding guitar (S.D. Broadcaster pickup).

This one is in planning at the moment (though I did already buy the pickups). As soon as I find the time to take on another full build, this will be it. Thin pine body (1-1/2"), ebony fretboard, 5-ply white guard cut at a 60 degree bevel. V/T/T controls with a Gibson toggle switch.

I will also be refinishing my white Explorer in Charleston Green, which is a very dark green that can be mistaken for black in certain light.

Re: St. Patrick's Day Lucky Green Guitars

I was gonna say I really liked that green esquire, but I understand now that liking green guitars and guitars with one pickup is wrong.

My deepest apologies.

'Lucky Green Guitars': if you own one, this would be a good day to buy lottery tickets.

Gibson Les Paul Studio, '98 (with finish repaired to original color).

For a few years, Gibson did the Studios in a Gem series, with P90s... (this is Emerald). After they discontinued the Gem series, they did a few years with the leftover paint, but with humbuckers. This is one of those, that someone had scuffed for refinishing. I rescued it, and had the finish repaired to as close to the original color as possible (a burst around the edges to cover where they had sanded through, then clear coat).
