Project Guitar : 2012 Edition

[eieio]

it all began, with a naive question..

is there a university for guitar project?

Project Guitar : 2012 Edition is dedicated to the all guys who had gone MIA since 2008 :

Hi everyone... how's the project world coming along? Any threads for 2013? Just revived this old hobby thanks to a friend who showed me that there are poor kids out there in need of a handyman to fix up their broken guitars.

I'm currently working on this. Chipped headstock, spoilt nut, paint chips, electronics faulty, every part has at least some minor work to be done.

A total overhaul I'd say

 

[obzervr]

Nice! Considering radical changes? Anymore still active in 2013?

Reviving my own project hobby... here is something from over the weekend...

Sanded down and staining a flamed maple neck...

Oil finish neck cos I don't like glossy lacquer

Lacquer to shine headstock...

Match w a nice body... and work on the electronics...

Install hardware...

String up and setup... and...

Red Old Flame...

Heres my first diy guitar project. may not be the most perfect axe but it sure is very satisfying to see it to the end. i think it gives me a reason to pick up the guitar and play it more often.

Body is from a beat up 96 squier affinity, neck from eyguitarmusic, pups switched to a p90 soapbar with dual concentric knobs and 3 way switch.

pickguard blank i got did not have all the holes aligned, so theres one near the bottom knob. you guys have any idea on how to cover it up? lol
