Very cool! beautiful actually. I especially like the HSH body with the Tele headstock. Looks like a real rocker.

Very nice looking and original head!

I'm working from home. I tell you I have never gotten so much work done so fast in my life! I never noticed how my typical day at work is a series of constant interruptions all day. In my spare time I am refinishing a faded brown Les Paul Studio model I picked up about 5 years ago. After removing th...

Nice demo. I haven't heard Badfinger in a long time. May have to breakout the vinyl when my wife heads out.

Very cool! They don't make them like they used to, eh?

I had always used T-nuts for my cab builds. However, the last cab I built I used the Fender style shown above - reverse threaded screw and kept nut. I'll never use anything else.

Well I dig 'em. Very cool build. Perfect!

Well I finally got a chance to diagnose the hash, and it turned out it was the guitar :oops: . Bridge P/U soldering was a little wonky. Took me a while to find it since I usually play with the toggle switch in the middle position, both P/Us out-of-phase. Once I placed the P/U in the neck position, p...

Checks all the boxes. T'ding!

Looks very good. Did you roll your own chassis? The lower parts count - I'm betting you could probably shrink wrap that into say a Fender Frontman cabinet or similar SS practice amp.

Thank you for the kind comments. My son thinks I need a daphne blue strat w/maple neck to go with it. Still chasing the hash. What a mess; these terminal strips should be called criminal strips. I have no idea why I used them when I have several eyelet boards laying around :roll: . I'll poke around ...
