Photo sucks, but this is my latest partscaster I finished last Sat.


I stole it as a NIB HSS MIM Strat for way below retail because is was not listed properly on eBay. I had EMG make me up a Kirk Hammett loaded pickguard in white, cut for a Floyd Rose. Then I found a real nice birdseye maple 22 fret neck on eBay and got it last Sat. Been breaking it in a lot over the last few days. Sounds and plays killer.

At one time, I thought I really liked the arched top Les Pauls, but I now a days, I think that I prefer the flat top versions more. And yes Dave, they are like hard candy

If you built one you might as well build another. Nice job. I leaned to build and repair guitars from my cousin who is a high end Luther that made guitars for many stars such as Keith Richards and others..

Wow man, that is pretty cool... We built this one out of a scrap piece of pressure treated 2x12 I had left over from a job. I didn't expect much, but I like the way the ebony stain gave sort of a tiger stripe effect to it. The hardest part was hand routing the neck pocket for the strat neck I had. I made it a set in neck with JB weld and then installed the regular strat screws to it. Plugged it in and gave it a whirl and it sounded like a real guitar lol

Wow JB weld. I think tight bond wood glue would be just fine. That's what we use.

I will try to find the photo of the guitar my cousin built for Keith Richards. The guitars in my basement were made about five years ago. I like the tulip guitar. All made from rare woods that he had for twenty years.

This is the best I can do.. Still working on it.

Hey Nostril,

I highly approve of the tele. I want one, but the problem is, is that I only want one. I don't know which one I want. I know I don't want to pay crazy Fender prices, but don't want the low quality of a Squire type axe as well...

Hence why I'm building my own Tele. Its a nice dense chunk of ash.

Here's a photo of my brother's Les Paul mentioned at the start of this thread.
Sorry about the poor quality, it's a photo of a photo (you get the picture) as I couldn't bring it to PPOT from my e-mail.

Wish it was mine!
