Greetings.
I've been bitten by the offset bug, and thought this would be a great place to hang out.
I'm now 65 and still playing in a classic rock cover band in Fl.
I also make guitars as a hobby, as well as other woodworking.
Retired 5 years ago from AT&T after 41 years.
Here is an offset I made using 100 year old barn pine with Railhammer H90Gnarly pickups.
And I'm currently assembling this sapele jazzmaster, this is of the clear coats before more clear, wet sanding and polishing.
Thanks for having me.

Nice builds you have there. That Sapelle one looks like it's going to be stunning when it's finished..

Thanks for the warm welcome and nice words.
I'm wiring the sapele JM but having a hum issue which I need to sort. Missing ground somewhere...
But it's also going to be on the heavy side with the body weighing about 5 3/4 pounds.
