Not yet. Technically. That tele is the first. But give me a week or so.

;)
I finally finish building a guitar, go to play it, and then remember, "oh yeah, that's right. I suck at playing... Why did I build another guitar again?"

My friend Natasha stopped by my place today to take a few photos of me and my work/shop for an interview I'm doing (more details later). I thought I'd give you guys a sneak peak, and this seemed like the most appropriate place to put it.

She looks great. Did you build that yourself?

Dang paul, that place looks immaculate compared to when I stopped by :D ::)

Gosh I'm funny...

I'm back to my workbench, and just ITCHING to get to work on some things... This is a top-secret build I've been setting up with Mongoose. Don't quote me on this, but I think if all the parts and materials were provided and payed for, and I didn't have a time limit, I would build guitars for free.

And this is getting very near completion, since I snagged a shiny new plate from Paul. Moar partz coming in the mail...

What's that extra string through thing between the tremolo and the bridge? Is this so you can have one or the other?

I like the way Jags and Mustangs look, and SOMETIMES I like the feel of a Jag/JM trem, but I more-often seem to like the sound (and solid, stable feeling) of string-thru guitars...

The thing I like about that is that you could put like three strings on the trem and three through the body (and they could be any combination) and get crazy B-bender like sounds, but totally different and modified. I'd love to mess around with a guitar set up like that.

Hmmm... I should totally build one. :shifty:
