..'Here's one that I made around 13 or more years ago. It's an all original 1973[except bridge picup]. The thing had a huge hole chopped out of the back[with a screwdriver] ,and a 9 volt battery,and a transistor thing scotchtaped in there . I paid $350 for it ,in pieces ,which was over top dollar at the time. The dealer couldn't "Get arrested" with it ,so then he contacted me , knowing that I was a Sucker for broken guitars [Firewood]....'Here goes..... .. ...'I made the hole bigger,and put a home made 'string bender' device in there. All the parts came from the Home Depot hardware dept.[with the exception of a rod cut out of a chrome shopping cart] Those drawers there have everything you want ! Nylon bushings, stainless steel bolts ,spacers, pins screws,springs..,etc.and nobody there to bother you. ....minor orgasm... ....Then I put a mahogany "Fudgey the Whale" cover there. As long as I was "chopping" ,I figured I would throw an "F-Hole" on the front [like a ThinLine]. ....And then an "F". 'Chopped up a NEW picgaurd [Ouch ! =sin to chop new stuff}. ,Car paint laying around [Urethane enamel ,Buick red] ...
