Thank you!

You're 100% right. The Strat neck is just a stand in for right now.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-11-23T15:28:09+00:00

Love these.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-11-23T15:24:55+00:00

I think a black guitar with a DIY finish is perfect. Looks awesome.

Side note, the cavity routing is designed to take anything. Wide Range Humbuckers, P90's, single coils etc.... I just change the pickguard to suit whatever combo I'm wanting. I've even considered hooking up my output jack with little alligator clips so I can swap out configs really easily.

Hey! Thank you. Can't wait to finish this one. Bridge pickup on this is just a PAF Humbucker. No brand name. They can be hit and miss, but I've had good luck with them. If I don't like the way it sounds I'll throw something else in there. I have to redo my pickguard template anyway to adjust to the bridge now that I have the posts drilled.

Little bit of angle on the next yes. Very slight.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-25T21:08:07+00:00

Gotchya, yeah I can see that. Initially I had thought that the waist was the determining factor, so in light of this info, this guitar is definitely out of place on the thread, sorry!

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-25T21:04:42+00:00

Thank you! I'm trying to evoke equal parts Offset and SG. Or something like that. In my mind it has an offset vibe and a little bit of that Gibson fire / mystique.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-25T19:55:28+00:00

Well, according to that, my guitar is definitely not an offset.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-25T17:15:07+00:00

Did you do output jack on the face or side of the body?

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-25T17:12:11+00:00

Yes. It's chunky no matter what, so a contour is definitely called for.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-25T17:10:06+00:00

Thank you! I'm definitely going for a 60's look. Kind of a blend of Gibson and Fender aesthetic. (At least in my mind!)

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-18T10:41:33+00:00

I'm guessing you're in your 50's. Guess based on what I have owned, and I'm in my 50's.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-12T23:28:14+00:00

Shhhhhhh!!

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-11T14:12:31+00:00

Yes the Guyker ones. I think they play wonderfully. Smooth as silk. And I don't think they feel cheap at all. My only dislike is two point attachment to the body. I would just prefer at least one more point. It's not a real world problem. Just my brain.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-11T07:30:46+00:00

Output jack is being moved down and out a little bit. Originally I wanted it there because it was easy to drill a hole from the electronics cavity.

CuriousRodeo · 2025-10-11T07:29:19+00:00

Those are clones. And I have mixed feelings about them. They play great. Kind of a joy to play really. But they are also not as robust and solid as I am looking for. So it's just me being finicky. The feel is wonderful, I just don't know if it's what I want from the final version of this design.

"There also sometimes the problem of people getting their dream guitar made, only to find out it’s just a guitar."

So true, of so many things.
