What projects do you have planned for 2010.

[CrackedPepper]

In the US, soon-to-be married couples often create a list of gifts called a "wedding registry" that people can use as a guide to purchase gifts for them.  You simply need to make sure your guitar project parts are included on the registry!   :icon_thumright:  Problem solved!

We have that too, wedding registries and I like the way you think.
But it's funny that you mention it. My gf and I were talking about the gifts list earlier this evening. We were really like: "You know, is there anything we need at the moment, 'cause I can't think of anything". We don't live large and are quite happy with what we have.

Congrats on your engagement.

If you are thinking of moving to a better or bigger place when you get married - sometimes folks do that as a sign of moving up in the world - you might need a whole house full of new furniture and fittings! Often that very comfy recliner or couch looks so out of place in a bigger room or a better apartment.

4) A PJ bass for my father.  He wants a vintage burst with no reds to speak of.  I'm not sure what you'd call that, but some sort of a brown burst over Alder.  He also wants an offwhite or  mint green pickguard and an ashtray cover for the bridge.  Maple/Rosewood, most likely, though he spent hours on Christmas playing the exotic woods on all my basses.  

It's not a P/J and doesn't have the ashtray, but here is my Tobacco Burst (satin matte instead of gloss poly) J-Bass with Mint Green pickguard and Maple/Rosewood (Vintage Tint Satin) neck for a color reference.

Congrats baskruit! You can ask parts of your Gecko if you ain't got nothing to ask for gifts!

I had a couple of warmoth builds planned out

One is a blue sparkle Jazzmaster w/ reverse CBS headstock.  Strat or Superstrat configuration and a Hipshot tremolo
a LPS Baritone.  probably figured maple of somekind.. I don't have one of those tops.  With a Wenge neck from Soulmate guitars with the Les Paul Gothic crescent moon & star inlay on the 12th fret
Also an alpine white Explorer. Lefthanded body & neck. but w/o the control cavity routes, I'd have to do that myself because I'd flip it upside down and have an upside down right-handed lefty explorer.

I need some decent pups and electronics for my Strat.  They have stock squier's in them and they suck.  But that build is technically already completed.

But I think with the way things are going with school and such.  I MIGHT just be able to do a build this summer... end of summer. Whatever I do though I'm going to get a Ghost hexpander system in it for a 13-pin midi cable so I don't have to go with the gaudy magnetic GK divided pickup.

27" scale LP Studio mahogany/alder top with distressed teal finish. Take a good look Tonar.

No idea how much $$$ getting the neck built will run me, but it will be a while.

Wha?  :icon_scratch:
So you're right handed and want to build an "upside down" explorer? OH the horror! hahaha! Hey, man if it works for you, rock it. It'll be smacking your knee a lot I think...but who cares! I've seen weirder.

Back in the 90's there was this band called "Pumpjack" (don't ask. I don't know) And the guy played an upside down Dean ML. It was really low on his leg, but he rocked it.

For guitars...I will be buidling my second complete warmoth project...third if you count the hotrodded tele I build last year.  I ordered the body and neck during the sale, and it sounds like the neck may be finished and the body is being worked on.  I hope anyways!!  I can't wait to get started!

My other passion is motorcycles...and I hope to be building up another one this year.  Last year I built a british style Cafe Racer...this year a bobber!!

Here is my cafe bike:

And soon this:

Will be this!

:headbang1:

 

[Dan025]

you like yamaha's. have you ever heard of a maxim x?
i picked one up last year for $1000
i like the cafe race there but i'm not sure about these things as choppers.
also that body rocks and what is the neck? wenge maybe?

 

[MN_JDTele]

Is the maxim the 4 cylinder?  I like the XS650 as they are a great plat form for building almost anything.  The cafe bike started out like this:

It was a 73 TX650.  I guess they have some collector value, but I got it cheap and had a goal in mind!  The green XS is a 1978 XS650 standard.  I am having the VIP body routered for a neck humbucker, and having it done up in a washed blue dye finish.  The neck is rosewood with a roasewood board.  My plans were for a wenge neck and ebony board...but I saw this and it was perfect.  The 20% off made it the same price as the wenge neck, so I went for it!

 

[DangerousR6]

Sweet VIP, and love the Cafe racer, and the bobber....As a Yamaha lover, I too had an XS, but mine was a XS360. My frist motorcycle, my dad still has it...

 

[MN_JDTele]

Sweet bike!  What are you riding now?  My main ride is a honda VTX 1800R

Now I have a 2004 Yamaha R6 and a 2003 Bourget Low Blow..

 

[MN_JDTele]

alright...you suck    Here is my X

 

[DangerousR6]

I got a buddy that has a VTX1800, an '05 I believe.

 

[chrisg]

My current ride is a Triumph Rocket 3.

Project for this year is a Les Paul Tele - TOM bridge, EMG 60/85 pups, mahogany body with a strat neck.  Putting some parts together now - photos eventually.

 

[kboman]

Revised plans: To get new pickups, an Earvana nut and a Bigsby for my Swede and to achieve recording facilities - a decent external soundcard and a microphone. With this and paying back my debts I'll have my income well and truly spoken for for the rest of this year...

Finishing my songs and playing live still stands (not sure if I wrote that before).

yeah it's 4 cyl. 20 valves and very fast for a cruiser of 700cc's. non us models i guess were 750's but harley was complaining about all the competition from imports above 700cc's. i plan to lower it and repaint it and maybe a top end rebuild that would include some perfomance parts.

rosewood/rosewood is an awesome combo. this guitar will be like a prs that's hollow. that's awesome.
