Feels like Christmas!!

The Mail man was good to me today. I got my new one piece pine body from Marty, AKA Guitarbuilder, a Suhr Broadcaster bridge pup from Tom H., and some nice blackguards pickguards from A.J. Love.

Next week I should get all the rest of the parts for my Esquire project.

Marty sure does some nice work on those bodies. I'll post some pics tonight.


I'm just so excited!!!

Ho Ho Ho Greg! Sounds like another great project. +1 on Marty. I got my pine body from him a while back but haven't got to it yet. Just got my pinecaster done last week. Let's see those pics!

Not sure of the finish yet, but I think it needs a natural or at least transparent something.

Man, that's a great looking piece of wood. You have the right idea. Don't cover that with a color. Congrats.

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me ?

It might be Christmas for you, but it's Festivus for the rest of us!

Seriously, congratulations. That looks very nice.

Cool. That nice grain in there needs to be seen. Color is ok as long as it's transparent.
