A bit of a change from my usual Recycled Timber Builds, this one is Hardware Store Purchased Timber from a couple of years back, must have been On Special.
The Box Body is 12mm Radiata Pine Lining Boards, and the Neck is 42mm x 19mm Radiata Pine, all Timber is coated with a Golden Teak Stain, and finished with 3 coats of my Sam Maloof Poly/Oil Mix and 1 Coat of Paste Wax.
This Build Originally had a 7.4 Chrome Humbucker Ghosted under a Pomade Tin Lid, and despite doing a very similar Build a few years back, which worked fine, this one Squealed and Squawked so much, I had to modify it to its present state.
A 5.7k Teisco Type Clip On Single Coil Gold Foil Pickup is wired through 500k Vol & Tone Pots to the Output Jack. :-)
