After Fender reintroduced the Lead series guitars I found myself really wanting to try one due to the smaller body size, but the descriptions I read indicated a too thin neck was used on them.  As luck would have it I found a loaded Lead II body with all hardware being sold on the bay by...

Just watched Mayfly's repair video of a vintage Rockman and need/want one!  (That I don't have to repair!)  Is there anything out there that is equivalent to it short of a whole rack system?  Always loved that Boston guitar sound and would love to be able to poorly emulate it using little to no...

Been working on my latest Warmoth project, taking the last body shape I did and enlarging it a bit as well as using Mahogany.  Initial plans were for a black finish (love a nice black guitar!) but the body wood is too nice to dye or paint.  I obtained some pure Tung oil which will be thinned and...

So I decided to try one of StewMac's Golden Age P90's in the neck of my latest project.  Any thoughts, prayers or suggestions as to what capacitor/wiring options will just make this into the coolest thing ever? :rock-on:

Does anybody know of a source for cream color humbucker trim rings that are slightly (maybe 3/32") longer lengthwise than standard Gibson Historic rings.  Found a nice '59 Les Paul reissue that had one in the bridge position that had marked the finish when the previous owner tightened the screws...

Working on my most recent build, that started with a partially routed Alder Warmoth blank.  Have cut it to shape, routed out a rear control cavity and rounded over the top and bottom edges of the body.  I think I'll just use the tele bridge pickup and maybe cover the neck with a round "sound...

Really wish that Warmoth would add this out of production gibby body shape to the offerings.  Could be tweaked a bit, but it is just the perfect size, weight and shape!  Looks like it could be adapted to a bolt on neck easily enough to warrant consideration.  The lower bout is the same or...

Installed a Joe Barden tele bridge on my Esquire build that's nearing completion.  Does anybody groove their brass saddles to hold the string in place?  Mine seem to want to move or touch the height adjusting screws/holes.  Also does anybody know if an ashtray cover will work on that bridge with...

I'm not even quite done with my second Warmoth build and yet I dared look in the Warmoth showcase and.... BAM!  Found this lovely thinline Swamp Ash body (no f hole) so here goes another build, it's becoming a bit of a sickness with me.  I'm thinking of making this an Esquire single pickup...

Got my new beautiful butterscotch blond thinline tele body (no f hole, so it's in disguise) from Warmoth and strangely had to open up and smooth the neck pocket to get it right.  In the process I managed to flake off two small areas of finish that look to be the size of Texas (but aren't) in the...
