Good heavens what have I created...

Well here's my first completely homemade axe... It ain't much but it works and its LOUD!




Things I have learned: Just because it is called "wood finish" does not mean after you apply it you are finished. I'll use grain filler next time..

Also, combining 4 humbuckers, a 25 db boost preamp, and series pickup wiring is not a good idea and will ravage small amplifiers. Thats why theres extra holes in the pickguard, I took the series wiring out.

And finally, breathing ebony sawdust is not a good idea.

i must say, this is impressive. my back seat project right now is a LP Jimmy Page copy. but i think i may try to drop another single between them and then who knows from there....

[ChrisK]

Yes, but with all of those magnets, does it properly stick to the side of yer refrigerator? ;D ;D ;D

[gfxbss]

haha, that would be the greatest magnet. also, maybe i would finally have somthing to hold down the five inches of coupons on it....

[ranchtooth]

it doesn't quite stick to the fridge, but it can screw up a digital watch if worn on the strumming hand!

[jeremyo83]

very nice. i like how the grain blends in with the wood floor

also, i'm rigging something up right now with 2 HBs in series. you said 4 in series was too much, but what about just 2? do you have any comments about that?

[ranchtooth]

2 would probably be the ideal amount for severe overdrive without going overboard!
