got bored
i ran out of smoke and beer almost at the same time and had a couple of hours to kill so i made these.
a standard jazzmaster, slab basswood
a standard jag-stang. slab basswood
and a hollow body tele, poplar back and sides with a basswood top, this is something i started a few months back but never got around to finishing until today. all i did was draw up an f hole from memory then i made a template out of it and put it on,
and yes they are offcenter, but if you notice the body has a wannabe jaguar thing going on, i slanted it as well
and now for the pics!
does anyone know who made this style of guard, i know it was someone on the forum and what not, i just want to check and make sure its cool if i use it, i don;t want to rip it off from someone and say its all mine.
the jag-stang and the jazzy i just made for fun, maybe i will sell them, maybe i will complete them,
but the tele is for tracy. i konw she wants a 70's style jazzy headstock, but im not about pups, she said she definitly wants a standard tele bridge pup and she said she does'nt care whats in the neck position, oh yeah, and a toggle on the top, like a 72

Tele Jr. style, hang on, I'll find a pic.BobArsecake wrote:I want a new scratchplate for my Tele, one that doesn't cover the top horn like that, but where it just uncovers the lower one. Teles with "bare" lower horns ftw.

They poke out of the F hole!
I saw this Hofner Committee on ebay that in the thumbnail makes it look like it has unusually tiny F holes. It looks eery, but why not? Maybe that is something worked out over hundreds of years of violin making. Why are guitar holes round? Do Rics sound different with the teardrops? I think a closed thinline is like a blank canvas (or at least a punkin) begging for custom shaped holes. I would love a nonexistent F hole. At the same time, though binding is difficult, there is nothing that looks better than bound holes. (Sounds like something that needs Ex Lax).
Great job on those, Robert.
