Really nice builds Charlie!

I especially like the hidden res cone and the re-purposed Delta 88 emblem.

Player or not, you really should at least post a sound test/sample! I'd like to hear those!

Thanks for the kind words.  I'm very low-tech here and don't have any vid equipment. I'll see if I can get someone to record and help me get some sound bits posted.  I just got out of the hot rod hobby, too expensive, so my guitars will have some sort of car theme.  The one I'm working on now will be a resonator using a Rambler hub cap and a "Rebel" fender script.  I'm scrounging around for "Terraplane" stuff for another build.

Thanks again,

Charlie

Cool theme, I'm a hardcore "car guy." And motorcycles. And guitars. And banjos. And fiddles. And.... (Well you get the idea!)

Rebel script might take some looking, but I bet its out there. Terraplane though...... I suspect might be a tough search!

Sounds fun!

Hi Charlie, nice looking builds. Welcome to the addiction, er, Nation. It's just like the hot rodding hobby. Ya can't really quit. Been into things automotive since the mid '50s as a spectator and built my first drag racer in '62. Still at it today, but the CBGs are a great hobby for when the car projects are waiting on parts and money.

Hi Charlie, welcome to group therapy for your new addiction. Your guitars look amazing. There's tons of instructional videos here and on YouTube. You'll be playing in no time.
