What's on your workbench today?

Nice job on a good looking guitar.

@Blazer said: "DiMarzio Dp100, aka a Super Distortion. Can't go wrong with a classic."

It's all a matter of individual taste, but the DiMarzio that rings my bell in the bridge position is the DP103 PAF or the DP223 "36th Anniversary PAF Bridge" Yee-ow, I like the way that pickup distorts an EL84 amp!

I was recently asked if I prefer Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio. It's always the latter for me, they have something that works for me.

I was kinda surprised that the pickup came with a four conductor wire setup. That would have made it a "Dual sound", but apparently that difference no longer applies.

Working on a hotel style headboard and side table surfaces for our second guest room...no "walls" for the bed due to the steep ceiling angles and a canvas knee wall, so "all in one" is the perfect solution.

@Blazer - The DiMarzio "Dual Sound" was a different pickup. The 4-conductor wiring just gives you the option of wiring it up with a "coil split" option.

I agree with the previous poster, @Powdog ... you have a knack for making those cabinets really pop!

Very few of my ideas are original.

finished making custom knobs for my 12 string guitar

Those are very nice @toanhunter they match beautifully. Is that a spruce top?

thanks! it's flamed ash, the brown wood is ammonia fumed pear, finished with de-waxed shellac, french polished, I might go over them with a few fine coats of clear nitro as well.

The knobs look great, but can we see the entire guitar?

A little Champish project on the horizon

It's about execution and you're top-shelf on that, both with the woodworking and with the finishes. I appreciate that a whole bunch.

Waiting for the Tolex to finish up.

you had your fitness for today

I replaced the tuners of my long suffering Squier strat "The Veteran" with THESE fancy buggers.

They actually do what it says on the tin, it stays in tune way better.
