Hi and welcome to the Guitar Attack parts build.
This build is going to a lot of fun.
This build started out as a build from the people here on Guitar Attack.
I was out of parts to build any guitars. Oh I had some wood for my neck through and a little wood for another neck but no parts. So I was challenged by a few to build a guitar out of parts they would send me. I thought HOW COOL IS THAT!
One of the fist things I got was the neck. Then other parts started coming in. My thoughts were OK now I have to build a cool guitar.
As many as you know I like classic lines, so from another challenge from one the guys, he wanted me to come up with something were you take a Gibson and Fender and fuse them together so that is how I came up with the shape I am going to use for this build.
Then I was challenged again to come up with something for the head stock so I came up with this...

Haha sorry for the "challenege" Eddie but I knew you would like the idea and I think everyone else will like it too! I'm still really excited for this build Eddie! Looking forward to seeing the body cut!

That headstock looks great Eddie! I think it came out better than the drawing actually!!! It looks really really good though! Be sure to keep that template on hand! I may want to buy it from you.
Also, I really do plan to get some parts your way very soon! Could you make another list of what you would like/need?
I plan on sending some capacitors and if you need screws of any kind, I have plenty on hand from different things. Anything else you need though? I have some knobs I am not using so, I might just send them your way. You can decide to use them or not!

Ok sounds great! I also have a set of strap pegs from a strat but I might buy another set that have a little lower profile for you. I don't have any string trees on hand but I might order some with my other parts.
I hope to get these out to you soon! I don't have my own credit card so I have to rely on using my folks' card to order online!

Eddie, put the names of the people involved on as a waterslide decal then it will be protected under the clear. Headstock looks great

Hey Eagleblues, what rating of capacitors were you thinking for this build? Let me know and I will look around in town to buy some. I would say anything from an 033 to 047. I like the 033's for combo pickups. Like putting a humbucker with a single coil. |

Ok I will see what I can do. I know you like those .033 but I didn't know with those P-90's in there. I think a .047 might work to tame the 90's but I'm afraid it might mud up the humbucker when you combine both coils!

So does that mean you know for sure someone is sending you wood? It would probably cost me more to ship the wood than I paid for it. But if you don't have someone committed to the wood I think I have some poplar but I will have to check my storage unit. d  |

OK! everyone, looks like we should be getting in some Alder for this build. It should be here any day!
Thanks to everyone! I'm going to take pictures of everything I have gotten for this build so far, once the wood gets here.
I hope everything goes well with the build .... to be continued...
