Cross Guitars - projects and restorations

[sal paradise]

Being a little too young for the 1st wave of grunge wasn’t our fault.

This 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.

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.

Ah rats! Did I forget to drill the ground wire for the bridge?

Haha, looking back at my photos i think you might've.

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!

Wtf? Hanson was cool..

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!

Nice! That looks so much better than the stock garbage tort.

I actually don't mind Squier's new tort. I just can't resist Pink and Mint.

More designs in the works.
I am currently building one of these for reals. Guess which one?

LEADWOOD


CONTESSUAR


MURDERER BASS

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.

No, I'm not currently building the Leadwood, unfortunately.
It's half Crestwood, half Lead II. And Lead II's have smaller strat headstocks.

Here's a clue:

Oh shit, cross was in Silverchair!

Not far off it:

Got some of the finish done on the Mavlander!
I'm pretty happy with it so far. No splats and blotches.

Quick mock-up before I dump a bunch more clear on it.

CONTESSUAR

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
