What's on your workbench right now?

[Shadoweclipse13]

I've been playing with dye-stabilizing wood! In this case, buckeye burl. Should have a two-color dyed top to show tomorrow in blue/purple. But for now, here's a smaller piece for parts I'm leaving as just blue:

That looks AMAZING Chris! The colors are reminiscent of Van Gogh's Starry Night painting

Finished some big ass bookshelves for my apartment this weekend. All 4 are 8 feet tall, with 3 of them being made with 1×8's and the other with 1×12's.


My math was a little off as I have 6 paper boxes of books that don't fit. So! Gotta make 2 more come summer. Still though, feels almost like home to have my books out

Started a third Rocket build. Swamp ash, McNelly Cornucopia humbuckers, flame maple neck. Found a cool old Ford color called Anti-Establish Mint





Also need to finish these three Fleetlines

This body shape is so cool, like a Dano U2 crossed with a Tele!

Last night I finally decided to modify a body I've had sitting around for a couple years. Before I cut it down, the shape was mostly Jazzmaster, but with a different lower horn and lower waist location. It got late and I stopped, but not before deciding to thin out the upper horn and slim the perimeter some. This is how it stands right now...

Been working on this guitar for some time. Bubinga body and neck with rosewood fretboard. Cocobolo headstock cap. Body is on the small size to keep the weight down. Scale length is about 23 1/2 inches.

But don't get too eager to see it finished, I had the body for years, when I was still in France, from a Canadian luthier, then I took it to New York, then Malaysia, and now in Singapore. Quite the traveler, this piece of pine. It's the only guitar I have left, and it's still missing a lot of things, that I get every now and then (even though I know what I want, it's more a question of funds).

That makes sense. I was thinking of a more angular, Jetson looking version of the JM when I drew mine up

Can't wait to see what this turns out like. Sounds like my never-ending Tele project. Love the control plate and the 3 knobs, two volume and master tone? That is a beautiful piece of wood, whats the pickup by the way?

Never build anything from scratch, but started on this today... Sort of an offset strat meets JM..., or something. Finished a template for a template. Slightly shorter than an average strat.

Volume, high pass and low pass. But I'm torn about the matter... I regret having the jack on the side (I like to have everything on top), so maybe hide that with a piece of pickguard material and relocate the jack on the control plate. The pickup is a modified Duesenberg Single-Twin P90 (it's HB-sized, made of two P90s for hum-cancellation, I changed the pole pieces). Because of the construction of the pickup, I was also thinking I could have two tones, one for the high strings, one for the bass strings; really undecided there.

maybe this pic will inspire you on the hybrid front.

^That is sweet!!



Got the backing boards for my DVD shelves done and the shelves loaded up. It never will be, but the apartment feels a bit more like home...

I like the way you think
Worthy experiment, would like to see this project when it's up & running (or even some more progress reports)

What would be cool is if you did that with a tone for each side of strings and an output jack for each
