Thanks Nick. I know that handbuilt stuff is all subjective, and only worth what someone is willing to pay. I know that I am not a known builder, and buying a guitar is a very personal thing. Personally, I would never buy one online, just because I would want to feel it and play it first, but that's ...

I am just finishing up the third guitar. I made it to sell, so I could recoup some of the expense of building all three. It has the good straplocks, Fender tuners, Schaller hardtail bridge, Evo fretwire, Fender American Standard vintage humbuckers, and les Paul wiring with coil taps for both pickups...

Thank you NickS. I got a Boss gt100 a couple of years ago, so I gave him my old Boss gt10. He had an Acoustic full range amp already that he used with his ovation.

This is a little recording I did with the Red Jag that I call Lenny the Shark. The lead guitar and one of the rhythm tracks was with Lenny.

very nice.

Thought I would post a conclusion to this story. My brother came out from North Carolina this week, and I finally had a chance to give him his guitar. Here are a few photo's. We also put on a little mini concert that weekend while we had a big family get together. I think there's some pics from that...

Check out www.guitarelectronics.com They have some great resources. I also got a ton of great info and wiring diagrams and explanations of why at www.toneshapers.com

I got to preside over a beautiful marriage today. It was a hot July day but fortunately it was an indoor wedding. I proudly present to you mr. Chip Jaguar Bates. I have posted a few wedding photos here for your enjoyment. The neck and body were both fully prepared for the wedding the only one nervou...

So here is guitar number three. Had one small problem to overcome with it so far. http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv221/CraterSoftball/Jag%20Build/20160626_202904.jpg I de-soldered the chrome covers on these. just wanted a more modern look. http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv221/CraterSoftball/...

I went over to my good friend Dan Kucera's house today to have him try out Lenny and Chub. He is an Ex band mate from back in our high school days, and plays way better than I do, so he agreed to let me video some clips to show the versatility of both guitars. Lenny the shark has modern Fender twin ...

I use a Dunlop DVP1 that I got several years ago at the pawn shop for about $40. I absolutely love it. Very smooth, and build like a tank. I can just about stand on it, and I'm a big boy. Doesn't seem to color my tone at all. I run it in my effects loop before any of my time effects.

I use basically the same setup in concert and for church. I play into a Boss GT100 that I have set to mono. I run the Left out to a 125 watt Full range amp behind me that is on a lean back stand. Out of the back of that I feed the house PA. Out of the right output on the gt100 I feed a powered wedge...

Here's a little vid I just made showing off a book that I just had printed up.

Here's a quickie little vid I made right after I got intonation set. It was the first time I had ever played it. Sorry the quality is not very good, but I just had my little Princeton Chorus there for setup purposes, and there was a fan running in the background. Also just recorded it on my smart ph...

Well, I just about got Lenny completed. Just waiting for the back covers to dry so I can install them, and it's Road-ready. Here's a couple of photo's of finishing him up For the wiring I went with a vintage Les Paul layout, except I used orange drop caps instead of oil filled, and as you can see, I...

Oh yeah!!!

I'm sorry if I missed it, but what did you use for clear finish? Is that a lacquer or polyurethane? After the last three builds I'm finishing up right now, I don't think I'll ever do lacquer again. Can't believe how long it has taken to harden. The covers I did in poly were dry in a week or so.

Nice work on those inlays. If you do it anything like me, it's a looonnggg, ssllloooowwww. tedious process. Yours came out real good. I gotta say that I love that neck jig. I have something similar that I build, but not as nice as yours. I would love to know more about it, and maybe watch a video ab...

Nice work. Are you going to post a video or audio of it's sound? I would love to hear it.

I don't think that's a bad call. You should have plenty of adjustment room.
