It's been raining here and I had some time off work. I got into a building mood.I went out to the shop and looked at what I had on hand. These two yellow builds are what I ended up with.The top is a piezo build and the bottom is a Gitty bass mag pup build.As I strung them up, I reminded myself that they might not play well until I did a lot of adjusting and tweaking.Keep in mind that I have built some CRAP. So I tied to lower my initial expectations.Wrong! I lucked out. These were two excellent players from the moment they were strung up.

Now that's Summer building. Nice photo too. I like the mag pup one best.
No longer shall we need to "wonder where the yellow went"...
If they sound as good as they look you definitely succeeded.
Thanks guys. They play and sound just as good on day two. I added brass box corners and a strap to the lower guitar - the one with the mag pup.
It's always exciting to hear the first tones to come out of a new build. "Did I build a player or a wall hanger? Or a cricket bat?" Great work!
Well John, you know I'm more fond than most of a bright yellow git. Magnificent work on these!
