This was my first attempt at a complete build in July 2017. It consists of a side panel which I liberated from a motorcycle that I built into a "Bobber". A damaged wheel adjuster was utilised as a bridge/saddle, from my '37 Jawa. A cheap, but surprisingly decent sounding S/coil pup with Vol/Tone knobs or should I say "nuts" in this case. Aged patina-enhanced finish (more "patina" was added in 2018). Main tools used were: Large metal grinder, hacksaw (I managed to retain all my digits), hammer, fret saw, metal files, wire wool. Tuning is GDG. Performed my first "Open Mic" with this at Boxstock UK in 2018. Makes me smile every time I crank it up.

Thanks MB, much appreciated.
Beautiful, I liked it! Congratulations on the work
Thanks Andries and Dave for the "Likes"... appreciated!
Thanks Andries. After I removed from my bike and it was just lying around... so I thought that will make an interesting guitar, ha ha. Californian is still a very desirable bike to collect. We have a few cool things in common my friend. I still have a CZ 175 Round tank and a "slightly altered" CZ 250.
Looking Slick "Ambrose" That puppie must have some natural sustain odd shape but verry rustic cool color ! Fun to read you ride the JAWA my first was one to a 200 twostroke i got second hand,
after that a bought a 350 californian the oilmaster Jawa, and made a bobber out of that to , but thats all history now!
I appreciate your like Eero.
Thanks Jeff. I love playing it. I performed a small live set with my son at an international motorcycle rally in the UK last weekend and this was my weapon of choice.
Totally sick & super slick .
Thanks for the Like Nasty De. I may be bangin' out a few tunes on this at an international motorcycle club rally next month.
Thanks for the like BBF!
