My first solid body out of a 130 year barn floor plank... sycamore....
Just a little more info. I have a piece of alder about 18"x30"x 1.75" I'm thinking of making a (Vox style) bass like one of the 60's Brit bands used (the Who, I think) Also a fantastic piece of .75" hard maple about 48"x15" for something (I can use help with this one), I'm also making the 4 string "Rat-O-Caster" paterned on a VICTOR mousetrap out of a scrap piece of maple. All ideas & suggestions will be appreciated (sp?)
Thanks;

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.
you rock crock
I should say too Jabes, great job, looks really promising !
Im real excited about little 3,4,5 string solidbodies, anything thats a little different.
