Power with no Fire = Success!

It was a proud moment. I always cringe before I flick a switch I've gotta admit, I have blown many an item over the years and flames. Go go self taught fixer! Just need to get that neck done and get over the guitar cringe!

  • You'll have to post pictures of that! Just googled it. That's a feat to take on :)
  • Yeah the one in the pic is my first build. It turned out better than i expected but I've done a lot of research since then and I think my next will be even better. I've got plans for a resonator built into a wine box with a traditional 3 string neck and since I'm a heavy metal fan I'm gonna try to build a CBG and add some extra pieces to the box to make it look like a Dimebag Dean. If your not familiar with heavy metal just google "Dimebag Dean" and you'll see thousands of results lol

     

  • It's a sweet looking guitar though! (Guessing that's it in your photo). Most o my parts are salvaged and modified from a crappy pawn shop guitar, the amp came with it for $50. My sister hated them both and The amp fizzled fast (quality crap i buy!) so I played more salvage games. Guitar body is pretty much done. Working out some neck issues. I do have plans for the rest of my pawn shop special. Including not letting a neck go to waste. Just picked a fine piece of salvaged free wood out of my pile and plotted out a slide guitar I'm going to slap together while my guitar waits a couple weeks so I can get over my fear of failure and plug into the amp. The slide guitar is going to a toddler who thinks I'm cool, I'm about to be ultra cool!

    Salvage and use every scrap!
  • Well get cracking! That amp looks awesome Would love to see what the guitar you build to go with it looks like :) I cheated on my first build and used a lot of parts including the neck from a $30 pawn shop guitar so my first build only took 4 hrs and happened the same day i decided i wanted to build one. Now I just gotta get familiar with open tunings and slide guitar instead of heavy metal lol.

  • I got it backwards Jason. I'm looming at the amp saying Damn! I need to make something to plug into it!
  • Good looking! I just built my first CBG last week and built a Cigar Box amp to match tonight. My Amp doesn't look near as good as yours but it's fully functional :)

  • Cool Beans Wendy!

  • That amp's Da Bomb!
