Hey everyone, first time post here. heres my project I have been working on slowly for the last few months. its nearly done.. Body is made from mahogany, and maple. I did all the work to it myself, aside from the neck. that I did buy.. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
Wow, that’s pretty awesome!! I wouldn’t even know where to start building something like that. A guy that is a host on my local radio show likes to restore old guitars they are always teasing him about it on the show.
Ever order any guitar parts from Grizzly?
No I have not. I haven’t even heard of them to be honest. I will have to look into them! most of those parts on that guitar came from a donor guitar which the neck came from, or parts that I already had left over from upgrades. The tail piece came from Warmoth
Grizzly has a ton of guitar parts, kits, everything really.
That is a hardcore project. Let us know how it sounds. And be honest!
I wired just the one pickup straight to the jack just because I couldn’t wait to play it, which is why it’s taking so long to completely finish it.
To be honest I think it sounds pretty killer. The electronics in it are very cheap but it sustains for days. I plan to upgrade the pickups and I think it’ll make a great improvement.
Sure I sound biased, but it truly am impressed by the sound. Especially for my first guitar build
Nice job, is it a solid body
That’s awesome Mike.
Thanks red, and regopit. Yes it is a solid body. It hasn’t even been weight relieved like most les Paul’s. It’s a heavy bugger.. Which is why I believe it has such a great tone to it.
