Might not be everyone's cup of tea around here, but this is my noise/glitch board, and I love it. I use it mainly for solo performances with loops made from the Volca Beats+Keys, guitar and bass. Chain is: Dr. Scientist - Reverberator Ibanez - Standard Fuzz Montreal Assembly - Count to 5...

Thanks, man! Definitely, haha! I've stopped talking in demos since. Let the pedal do the talking  :guitaristgif:

I play ambient, noisy and/or fuzzy music, so people on quests for the holy tone might not be too interested in most of what I have and will be demoing. All demos thus far have been played with an early 2000 MIJ Fender TC72RI with Lollar wide range PU's (500K) in neck and Lollar Special T (250K)...

This looks to be really, really cool!  :headbang:

That is going to look sooooo good. Great color. Can't wait to see her done  :blob7:

Thank you all!  :occasion14: It plays really well. I can bend the strings up a full 2 steps without any problems. I will still have to do some small adjustments, but overall it feels amazing. Loving the raw neck! It is also very light. Way lighter than my RS guitarworks tele, which is great...

And here she is!

Thank you. My english is not superduper, and I got confused  :icon_thumright: Time to get that jack plate in place Little homemade isolation from rubber and tar tape (thank you, stratmania!) Neck on, E-strings on. Adjusting the pickguard and taping it down Why did I go for the 11-hole...

This is were english as a second language fails for me. Do you mean that I should cover the copper in the jackplate so that the hot wire and the tip of the Jack does not make contact with the shielding?

I just wanted to go all in, sort of speak. I'm never doing it again  :toothy12:

My frets are not stainless steel though. But a machine would probably take an hour off the work either way  :laughing3: Noted for my next build!  :hello2: Did a little work today also: I started the day off by installing the strap-holders. Bottom one first Then the 'horn'...

Fret work time First thing: Get that neck straight Before and after truss rod adjustment All taped up Leveling those frets (400 -600 - 800 grit) Flat and nice Dealing with the fret ends Pointing to one being done, the others are not yet touched Some MacGyver tools I used...

Good stuff! Really like your choice of headstock  :glasses9:

First update! A picture to set the mood Neck fastened Used two sorts of reamers for the tuning machine holes Like a glove Making it as straight as I can Turned out pretty good Need leveling. Neck had a bit of a bend to it. Figured I'd attach it to the body and see how It...
