It's nuts! I love it! Galvanized p.g, please!

jwells393 · April 15th, 2008, 02:14 PM

........... or maybe an un-galvanized rusty metal pickguard.

I'm really thinking Butterscotch with a black guard.

Im still rooting for duck tape

I wonder if a big wide front-to-back binding would be possible, in black, all the way around the guitar?

Perhaps the body wood on the back and sides could be pickled or whitewashed to fit in with the blonde colors of the wood chips?

Yep, that would work. Maybe use some old corrugated tin roofing hammered flat and shaped into a guard.

Remember, it's whatever makes YOU happy

gibsonjunkie · April 15th, 2008, 04:18 PM

I had a bad tooth once. If I pushed my tongue against it a certain way it hurt. I did that a lot, mostly because it felt so good when it stopped. When I finally got it fixed, I missed it.

That is how I feel about this guitar... Part of it hurts, but some of it feels oh so good....

Anycaster · April 15th, 2008, 04:24 PM

It does beg for the galvanized pickguard. It also might be cool to figure out a way to use a mattock handle in some way to build a neck for it. Maybe get a paddle head neck and shape the head like a double bit axe handle where it fits into the axe head.

G-log · April 15th, 2008, 04:28 PM

I love it ! I think Fender should buy the idea from you and mass market them-I bet they'd sell for about $6 K like the relics do up here!

Very rare to find it with this kind of figuring

martyb1 · April 15th, 2008, 07:56 PM

God help me

Hmmm,not too sure about that

Anycaster · April 15th, 2008, 08:04 PM

Actually that's not bad if the upraised numbers don't interfere.

Newfie_J. · April 15th, 2008, 08:07 PM

Beautiful. I love it. Why do we always overlook the obvious everyday stuff.
That looks like its gonna be one of the most FUN guitars I've seen for a while.

I thought I was strange for wanting to use birch.

gibsonjunkie · April 15th, 2008, 08:12 PM

Maybe an old hub cap will work on the back to protect against buckle rash...

Corrugated Iron !

Well...I'll be!

....What's the rating on that? Is it hurricane proof?
Actually...It may look nostalgic when done. Kind of antiquey!

dcn3 · April 15th, 2008, 09:07 PM

I cant wait to see the final product.

dcn3 · April 15th, 2008, 09:09 PM

unique?

wooderson · April 15th, 2008, 09:32 PM

Would like to see one of these using the newer house sheathing - osb one-sided w/ aluminum foil.

Buckocaster51 · April 15th, 2008, 09:33 PM

Crazy dude!

How about a tire track where the Mustang competition stripe would go? Load up tire with black paint and roll it right across...

or maybe not.

Or maybe yes.

Now I know how it feels to be ambivalent!

Genius! Use brown ink for the sepia effect.

telecaster1987 · April 15th, 2008, 09:57 PM

My Avatar's expression says it all

! Might try one out of 2 layers of laminated plywood. I seem to recall that maybe some Danelectros had masonite bodies. How well does a Lucite body resonate?

Kewl, man!!!

A long time ago Fine woodworking had the back cover photo feature. This issue was about too perfect.

Featured was a Maple table .. too perfect so the builder took a crayon and scrawled across the top.

The other was a beautiful China cabinet ... Too perfect so he drove a spike in it and bent it over.

Too bad you don't have the green lumber stamp.... or some carpenters measurements written on it.

pchilson · April 15th, 2008, 10:46 PM

What is that? Cardboard?
I think with 3 more sides and a roof you'd have a place to store your lawnmower...
Maybe some old rusty barbed wire for binding? How bout barn brooming it barn red?
