    VOTE HERE! Guitar of the Year 2017!

    Oh man, what a close one! I have to say, the forumites have been stepping up their build game lately. Even that runner up group last month was full of great axes. I’m truly tickled that everyone likes my build so much. I put a lot into it, and the Warmoth parts enabled me to spend extra time and...

    Hopefully this is not too Necro-Post, but here are Dan and Mick from That Pedal Show playing my axe . . . and yes, that's Dan's happy face, haha

    VOTE HERE! April 2017 Guitar of the Month Contest

    Ah, some of the others are so cool too! I really like the killer "denim" tele. The custom guard and control plate are super sharp looking, and if I wasn't so broke from building mine, I'd probably have bought out Warmoth's showcase of everything roasted maple by now. There's a special place in...

    VOTE HERE! April 2017 Guitar of the Month Contest

    Woohoo! Wow! What an honor! A huge thank-you to all the great folks at the big W, and to the forum community here. You all embraced a guitar newbie many years ago and have been ever kind, informative and encouraging. Here's a shot of how I rock it, that a friend took of me a couple weeks ago:

    You pull the bigsby arm up (towards the low E string if that makes sense). Other than that, it works exactly like a regular bigsby.

    March 2017 Guitar of the Month Contest Submissions

    Oh, man! It's been a long while since the last self-finish month, which I just barely missed. Next month though, I'm all ready.  :turtle: Let's see those epic W finishes this month, they sure do some pretty ones!

    Go right ahead! The more music there is in the world the better off we'll all be. Yeah Spitfire is a really cool dude. Looking at modern tort is gross, somebody needed to do what he does.

    I live on a dead-end dirt road, so the odds are in my favor. Truthfully, there is one pro guy with an LED axe that I know of (I think it's clear plexiglass body too can't remember who has it though), and the guy I worked with to get the pickguards made (they're custom with translucent white...

    It hits all the good spots for me. Comfy, retro, and geek-tricked-out.  :turtle: Now the true challenge is, how to accurately photograph it for (what I hope is a user-finished category) December GOM submission. The video makes the Pickguards look much brighter than they really are. I'd...

    Things I found don't work: Electroluminescent panels/wire. These run on AC power with a transformer. Alternating Current. Electromagnetic Pickup. I'll let those terms sink in and you can come to your own conclusions  :doh: Capacitive touch switches. Perhaps there's one that would work if it...

    See the slightly larger hole in the rear plate? D.C. Charge port for a 12V LiPo. Thing will run for over 12 hours lit. I just gave up testing the runtime after that because it really is irrelevant  :doh: I honestly just found cutable LED strip lights, and used an LED circuit designer website I...

    All strung up and fully playable! I'm waiting for one more Amazon order to arrive so that I can complete the super secret special part of the build. Then all will be revealed. https://flic.kr/p/NPrthw
