Here is part 1 of my first guitar. It's for the 1960's. This will be a quick build. It is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. It's time to bring this old friend back to life.

But anyway, I thought this would be a fun build. I want to use that pick guard before something bad happens to it. If nothing else, I'll put it on the wall with the old neck and body and some of the pictures in my guitar room. No matter what, it needs a new life! LOL! EB

Absolutely get it Eddie. You and that guitar have been through a lot together.

You are definitely on a roll my friend! Never mind "Retro Guitar", if it has to have a name, then it just has to be "Trigger"! youtu.be/LAh8HryVaeYAnd no one will "get it" over your side of The Pond. You will have to go some to top your other current project, but I have a suspicion that this one will be a doozy too. Plus ten! でつ e&oe ...

What makes it funny to me is that I was thinking the same thing. How can it be the same guitar? LOL!!!
I would like to call it "Trigger" But Willie Nelson's guitar is already called that.

Steve, I thought you were talking about Roy Rogers' horse named Trigger. Definitely didn't know anything about the guy and his broom. Thanks for the clip, very funny.

That was a particularly memorable sketch from "Only Fools and Horses". Dane sealed the deal when he wrote words to the effect of "you and that guitar have been through a lot together"!
Another one was where Del Boy put his hand out to lean on the bar and someone had lifted the bar entry/exit platform so he fell straight through. Comic timing. In the Trigger's Broom sketch, the guy calls Del Boy's brother Rodney "Dave" which was part of the whole daft Trigger personna. Classic stuff.
Anyway, I apologise to Eddie for superficially appearing to trivialise his thread, but I just couldn't let it pass by!
Back to the thread then.

You were close Eddie, it was a pole house from Thailand. Most of my Teak was from panel doors.

Getting ready to go to the big city today. I have a doctor's appointment there, so while there, I'll be going to some of the big hardware stores and to Harbor Freight and Sam's Club. LOL! I'm tired already!
I'll be getting supplies for the shop and house.
Thanks again for commenting on YT. EB
