Hi Folks: Thought I'd do a few solid bodies this summer in addition to everything else I'm behind on. Got 2 nice pine Tele bodies & one Esquire. Got what could only be an old Vox Phantom (pine) with Tele hardware and what looks like a cross between a Firebird & Jaguar (alder) with Tele & Strat hardware. I'm making a bass out of it using 2 Hofner Beatle bass pickups & a single coil where the Strat bridge would be & a high mass bridge father down the body so I can use a 34" scale neck. Stained it to look like a neck through body (darker center with light wings) Ready to start mounting hardware on this one. Will post pics soon.

Im real excited about little 3,4,5 string solidbodies, anything thats a little different.

bolt in mate.  youve kind of done it completely backwards from how i normally do it, but it'll work.  hopefully you havent fitted that bridge yet.  I usually rout my neck slot before i even cut the body out, it is where i get my centre line from

 thanks, er Kid . i guess i need to build a neck then, but i need to decide how to fit it ??

Hi jabes. We can help. For a single switch on that pup I would use a dpdt toggle to flip the two coils in that rail pup between series and parallel. Two very useful sounds. As for your neck join well I can help with that too but first you need a neck so you know how big a hole to cut

hi, i just joined the group. i've had he bits for a solid a while now but been building other stuff. i mean to cut down the bridge to a 3 or 4 string but no idea how to fit the neck - straight through or like on yer tele etc .. here's a mockup -no neck yet.

 need a switch for the pup as well . anyway any suggestions . body modeled on a stratotone H44.

Hey Troy, you're an Aussie are you not? All that timber you see is recycled, and a lot of it native.
