Not much to say about this exept it was a wreck with a streight neck,nothing worked on it and it was very filthy
After stripping it and a few hours cleaning i decided for the all black look and as the body was routed for a HSH set up thats what i installed.finishing off with making a nice little strat custom decal for the headstock

A gift from a friend
A friend gave me this old telecaster syle body
This is how i recived it
After hours of studying this is what i came up with
The neck was bought as a squier blank and after quite a bit of sanding & laquering ,i added some wilkingson anti slip tuners and made my own water slide decal and laquered in very well
Im very happy with the neck as it feels and plays very much like my standard mexican telecaster
Rest of the hardware is possibly chinese un sure as all parts was purchased off ebay it was the easiest way to get the gold coloured items
The control panel is the type with reverse polarity , four position switch instead of the normal three

Here`s one i made earlier
Here is a kit i built a few years ago,a strat style twelve stringer
Although the body wasn`t the best wood after many hours of hand sanding making it the best i could then i decided to finish it with tru oil ,i`m happy with the results and its very playable
The body and neck in process of being sanded
The following is the body and neck with 13 coats of tru oil
Finaly assembled

Welcome
Hi every one and welcome
Still not sure what i`m doing but giving it a try
I wanted to create something where people could show of their treasures, (guitars an equiptment)
and olso have a natter about modifications etc
I`m interested in anything to do with the music industry and any style of music
This guitar aquired as a shop soiled but was not very nice scratchplate screws had all being tightened to much and was split so replaced and changed from the original white one
Also done a couple of mods one to have the bridge and middle pups humbucking
and added a high pass filter making it simular to the old fender jaguar
ups forgot to say the guitar is a Tanglewood Navada
