Here is a link to my latest project -finidhed just today.  Details: Showvcase Telecaster body - Mahogany back with Quilted maple top. Black burst over to Purple to clear. Birds eye Maple Neck with Pao Ferro Fingerboard with Les Paul mother of pearl inlays. Gold hardware including Schaller mini...

Now that makes perfect sense - thanks!!!

Ok - this may be a silly question but I have to ask anyway.  Why foes one ground to the back ot the volume or Tone Pot?  With the exception of a capacitor that may require grounding to the Pot itself - I see no reason why I can say - tie the pickup and jack ground together put them in a small...

Greg, It was nice meeting you too.  I worked some on the guitar today.  Got it just about ready to be wired and strung.  It is looking great.  You have some real crafts people working for you.  I love the smell of all that wood.  I'll post pics this weekend when I am finished.

Did it work?  I am about to do the same and I can get the damn solder to stick to the pot at all.  Scuffed, sanded, fluxed - noting.  It is the las thing I need to do and I will be done.

Hi all, I had the wonderful opportunity today to visit the Warmoth factory up in Washington.  It is guite a site to see with al the craftsmen and women applying their craft to the raw wood and other materials it takes to make a guitar.  The smell of drying wood and sawdust permeate the facility...

TOTALLY BITCHIN  :headbang1:

the ME 50 rocks!  I could not ask more from a multi effects pedal.  it has every setting for just abouit every boss effect they make. I was disappointed that the body was not complete.  I can't wait to hear those dirty harry's.  this tele is going to be very les paul like.  the body is mahogany...

Here is a photo of the neck, bridge, bridge and neck PUPS.  All the rest I have right now are the small electronic parts - not worth taking a picture of capacitors or POTS IMHO.  The Body went back to Warmoth on Friday.  I do not expect to see it for a couple weeks.  Maybe during the Christmas...

Well the components showed up this week.  All looking real swell but on closer inspection of the Tele body- killer finish - I did not get the expected Side Jack route put in before it was shipped.  So back to the great NorthWest it went yesterday.  Looks like another 2 weeks before I can get...

Very Nice - you have to love Swamp Ash

One of the finest guitars I have seen.  I just finished an hour of playing some blues on my new strat.  There is nothing like playing something you built yourself.

I dig that strat.  It has quite the pickup combination - I would love to hear how it sounds.
