First Build Complete!

Posted by Micah Haley on June 29, 2010 at 1:06pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion
Rocky Patel Anniversary series box. Neck through apple wood plank. String through body tailpiece. Tuners off a Peavy electric guitar. No electronics. Fret markers burned in with soldering iron. Action set high for slide. @ $7 invested. Most of that is strings.

CHEERS!

    Thanks Dave! I wanted to keep this one simple, and work out the basic kinks of construction. I'll probably do a couple more modest ones like this with the Patel boxes (because they are cheap, plentiful, and not so pretty that I'm afraid to mess then up). Then it's on to the REALLY nice boxes I've been able to collect over the last couple of weeks, and more ambitious designs.
