First 4 strings build progress

[Gilles C. Caron]

I really started working on it.

I cut the box to fit the neck on both ends.
Will then decide on how I do the headstock, make it, then will glue the freboard.

I want to keep it simple, but do what it needs to play well and sound good.

More to come

[Paul Craig]

I like the way it sounds. Your going to have a lot of fun with that one.

[Paul Craig]

Always liked a Tele bridge with some distortion/OD and slide.

[Gilles C. Caron]

Yeah, me too.

I had a double-humbucker for years for my Rock period.
Then I built a Strat for my SRV years.
Then I realised that the Rock I was listening to was Blues Rock...
I started to play more and more Blues, built some Teles, then switched to slide.

So now, here I am... building cigar box inspired guitars...

[Paul Craig]

Most of my guitars have HB's in them, but soon I'm going to have some P90's in a couple of gits as soon as I can afford to.

[Gilles C. Caron]

Yes, I like them too.

I bought 2 P90s that I wanted to try, but stopped building guitars before I could use them.

I have a DeArmond with single coils that are supposed to be close to P90s, and they sound great...

[Paul Craig]

Those are great for Surf style music or Rockabilly.

[Gilles C. Caron]

I've been working of the details of my 4 strings guitar, testing it with different tunings and with the Flatpup, and took the strings and tuners off today to apply the final finish on the neck.
But today. i also received the "Psycho knob" I ordered from C.B.Gitty not long ago...
So... I need to finish the guitar before I can try the board.
Great kit btw. You just need to solder the wires to the pickup and the output jack, including a volume knob if needed.
Here is a picture of the kit on the guitar, which now have a battery box and a plate for the output jack installed.
The fun is coming...
