Rebuild of a rebuild.

Posted by Uncle John on November 13, 2018 at 5:35pm
This guitar started off with a different top and a cooking pot lid. I thought it was pretty cool until a I built a wood top big tenor and it sounded louder and better.Then it was a Lowe cone reso - but that first rebuild was difficult to modify for the cone and some of the top wood was too thick. it never sounded as good as I expected it to.This rebuild was more than just a new top. I had to raise and reset the neck. I replaced a bass mag pup with a rod piezo and equalizer.First impressions are good after first stringing it up (with the same strings as with the Lowe reso).

    Thanks a lot guys.  It plays pretty good.  I made a sample video.

    No wonder this one has the Uncle John signature look. It has the “improved” mods and painting fixeruppers in every area. The Masterpiece.
