Thanks for the kudos and well wishes. I am indeed a Yankees fan. It was a work of passion.  Especially the pinstriping as that was a pain in the rear.  :laughing7:

My entry The body is a hollow Mahogany from Warmoth. The neck is a Warmoth "CBS Strat" Mahogany with Rosewood fretboard.  I sanded and sealed the body, primed it, painted it Blue, pinstriped it, masked the logo and number on the back, painted it White, removed the pinstriping and masking tape...

Hi, Sorry, but I'm fairly new to the Forum and for the life of me I can't see any place that describes how one gets on the list of Guitar of the Month candidates. I posted a guitar that I built in the a different section of the forum.  Was that wrong? Is there a specific place that one has to...

A few things: 1) Let me Thank all of you for your positive feedback.  I do appreciate it and it makes me feel that all that effort wasn't misguided 2) A good portion of a 1/8" thick piece of quilted maple was sacrificed.  However, not all of it went to waste.  There's still a good amount of it...

Sorry for the delay with the clips.  Got busy with a few things.  Here's what the Resonator pickup sounds like (apologies for the sloppy playing)

Clips are coming.  Busy with a few other things but its on the "to do" list asap. Its a busy weekend around my parts.  :icon_smile: The guitar is a cross between a Warmoth finished product and an Owner finished.  Though I had Warmoth do the HoneyBurst and Clear, I had to route the cavity for...

I'll record a sound clip or two .in the next day or so and post it..

Hi Knuclehead G, it is a Resonator.  The components are the same as in an acoustic Resonator such as a National Steel, i.e. it has a Cone, and a Biscuit.  I'm actually using a Cone, Biscuit, and Coverplate from National. The difference between an acoustic Resonator and an Electric Resonator is...

I did it!  I built myself an Electric Resonator.  Check it out...

Hi again,  Warmoth sells a "Hollow" L5S body.  See here: http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies/Vintage/HollowL5S.aspx (Its not really hollow as they leave what is basically a "block" of wood down the center.  Which is even better since a 335/345/355 is a "semi-hollow" body with a block down the...
