Video of my first build

The audio isnt synced up very well, in fact the further in the video, the further out of sync... But.. Here's the result of my first attempt at building a guitar from an assortment of different sources.

Thanks. This one has become my "Go To" guitar for... well... everything. I play in a cover band and need to be a "Swiss Army Knife" kind of player. So I have a tele, a les paul, and now this. Sold my strat and frankensteined super strat to pay for its parts. Despite the simplicity of two P-90s, I can get my tone where I need it with little effort. Yes, I do cheat by using a modling rig, but I find that if I just use a JCM800 model dialed in clean, with an overdrive pedal modeled in at the ready, I can get everything I need. I don't use 99% of what my modeling rig does with this guitar.

The craft stores have a few useful little things in them. My wife is an avid crafter, I find myself feigning interest in that store all too often...

Here's another video. I broke down and bought a little video camera. But it looks like I gotta buy a little memory chip if I wanna record anything longer than 2 minutes. DOH!!!!

You can get a lot of versitility out of a good set of P90's.

Nice guitar.
