Default A few of my most recent builds/mods (pictures.)

Hi all!

Here are a few pics of guitars I have been working on for the past 6 months or so.....

Please tell me if you like or hate them....this is what I do for fun!


This set of pics is for one I like to call "UGLY."

I am just waiting on black PUP covers for this one and of course the waterslide decals will be applied later as well.

Default This set is for one I call "Gladys."



All I am planning on doing to this one is putting a "Gladys" plaque below the bridge...(Think SRV's "custom" sticker..)


Also waterslide decals of my own logo....

Ugly don't look so ugly to me. I kinda like the white pup covers. show us Gladys when you've got her "all decked out". can you get any "twang" out of that Tele ?

you've done a great job with your guitars. keep up the good work.

THANKS MAN! Gladys is just almost there... and as for "twang," i would say no, not really. I built it to be a hot rod. A rocker with good thick solo tones. I am glad that you like it though!

Awesome job. What brand neck did you use for the first one? The headstock (at least from the pic) looks a bit different than a Fender or Fender replacement.

Thanks man. I originally named her "Ugly" because I was sure that when I was done she would be, But now I might just have to name her "Perty!"

That entire guitar actually began it's life as a Kramer. I Thought the neck felt like butter so I just redid the headstock and refinished it with new tuning keys.

Here is some pics...

if you want to hear it, here is a little video. I was playing through a fender mini twin so it's not as glorious as it is through my larger fender amp.
