A complete overhaul of my licence plate guitar. The only parts reused were the bridge, the volume knob and the plate itself!Pine box, oak ply base, oak neck, walnut fretboard, pickup bobbin and tailpiece.Bone nut, bolt bridge, hand wound pickup (12,000 wraps, 7.1kΩ)Very happy with the rebuild - plays great and sounds lovely.

Thanks John. You know me well enough to know that gave me a lot of trouble. If I had put the bridge further back I would have lost a lot of fretboard, so I went for this!
Looks fantastic. Love the plate and that beautiful tapering neck. I would have tried to not put the bridge over Steamboat (the horse), but surprisingly, it looks great there. Nice job!
