Meine Neue Gitarre ...eine Bedpan Guitar.

Tonabnehmer ist selbst gewickelt.Nur leider muss ich den neu machen,denn der Prototyp hat einen Spulenriss.

Das Klohäusschen an der Kopfplatte kann geöfnet werden, man muss ja auch mal Saiten wechseln können ;-)

Der Hals ist der komplizierteste den ich bisher für eine Gitarre machen musste,aber es klappte.hier ein paar Bildchen:

Darüber hinaus hab ich noch 3 weitere gebaut, die aber mitlerweile neue Besitzer haben.

Und ein paar Bottlenecks aus glasierten Ton habe ich auch noch gemacht
