Being into alternative music in the 90s was insane. I feel so lucky to have grown up when skate punk was topping the charts but also had an endless web of underground scenes & sub genres, for example.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 1:03 amThis is true. BUT it did make us perfect age for Fugazi, At The Drive-In, early Mogwai, Sunny Day Real Estate, skatepunk in general, Wu-Tang Clan, etc. We had our own primo years that people just younger than us are jealous of.sal paradise wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 12:53 amBeing a little too young for the 1st wave of grunge wasn’t our fault.

No worries though, this customer has a tech he takes everything to for assembly etc, so hopefully drilling it isnt a major obstacle for him!

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
I mean what's so bad about them? They were just kids that could play instruments and their songs were on the radio.. Probably any kids dream that plays music at that age..

Okay, enough about Silver-Hanson.
Eyguitars pickguards fit perfectly on CV Squier Jazzmasters, the bridge holes are a tiny bit out but not too bad.
Minty!

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
I'm assuming the Leadwood is a nod towards the Crestwood? Looking good, although I'd prefer a CBS-sized headstock.
Still, hopefully that's the one you're building for realz.

It's half Crestwood, half Lead II. And Lead II's have smaller strat headstocks.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
Got some of the finish done on the Mavlander!
I'm pretty happy with it so far. No splats and blotches.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
I was gonna guess this one then saw the pickguard post underneath. I like that. The pickguard has Musicmaster vibes and, if that line drawing is anything to go by, I'm all for banjo tuners
This looks great! I really rate the tones you use for your sunbursts
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?
