Build #7...

Here's guitar build #7. It made from an old Russian made Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phase Shifter guitar effects box. Or parts there of. It took some imagination and problem solving as the original laminated box was a little hard to work and too thick for the control pots to pass through with enough clearance.  I got it though and if you are familiar with these boxes and effects pedals I think you will "get it." 






Good pick up. Pleasantly surprised with it's clarity. Sounds good through my 1968 Fender amp but then most guitars do. This piece plays and stays in tune well. 










My first attempt at a more complicated headstock design. 

On my travels this weekend I stopped at a storage build sale on the road side and purchased an old jewelry box with broken hinges and a cigar tin that seems to be from the 1920s. I have plenty of guitar making items on hand and an order of tuners and other parts on order. 

Stay tuned on these pages I am invited to the faculty art show at SFA later this summer with plans continuing to have my stuff shown at a future show. I'll keep you posted as I fine tune my builds. 









Side view volume and tone pots. I ordered the long shaft pots for my next build so you can bet they will be too long.
