Cool, I thought about doing that but I just went back to the strat body. Hard to beat a strat.

Yeah man, that looks like a very fun project.  What is the plan?  Is it going to be some familiar shape, or something never before seen?

hey

yeah, not very original, but I got a strat and a tele and a hamer sunburst (it's like a dc les paul) already. Checked out the se prs's at the local shop and thought they were total crap for the money. It's funny, they're probably made in the same factory as my hamer but the hamer stuff is so much better for cheaper.

got the plans from http://www.guitarplansunlimited.com i got the prs shape and a tele delux and stuck them together so id have a bolt on neck pocket. took them down to kinko's and had them laminated so now they are stiff and i can draw around them.

Man... I got the hankerin for a Bo'Diddly now

CB are you talkin' 'bout the Gretch Jupiter like Billy Gibbons has?

Thats Big Bo, or "The Mean Machine" (its copy)... dunno which, but could be the latter.

Here's the Jupiter

Gretsch did make the square guitar for Bo, but I dont think it was ever in production.

I might have to call Ken and see if they can do such a thing (jeeze how hard can a rectangle be?)  Maybe do it up with a firebird headstock
