Re: A new guitar I built

Thats my other love also. Ive refinished guitars, and built some from kits, but making one from the ground up? Wow thats some skill and some patience. Im refinishing a '66 Mustang (Fender not Ford) right now , I guess Ill have to post some pics when Im done. Did you use nitro for your finish?

Re: A new guitar I built

Good job! I made a copy of a fender strat for my son Kevin. He can play the strings off it! I do not play so for me it was a lot of fun to give him an instrument that really is playable not just wall art! I had a ball and my son said he will play it for life and always have it because I made it! Cheers, Pat

Thanks, For me the finish is the hardest part. This one's hand rubbed oil.

Thanks. It's a '66. Here's what it looked like when I bought it.
