Hallo!!!
I "built" a new guitar!!! It's been in the works for a while now, between brainstorming ideas, ordering parts, and actually assembling all the parts!
It is a Shell Pink Jazzmaster body from GuitarFetish paired with a 30" baritone guitar neck, with rosewood fingerboard and block inlays from a gentleman on eBay!
It also has a tortoiseshell pickguard, and pickups also from GuitarFetish. (P.S. their "kwikplug" system for passive pickups is genius!!! And the pickups sound amazing for the price! Highly reccomend checking them out :3) Some other assorted parts purchased from amazon and other websites include: Chrome Locking Tuners (guyker brand), Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch and mono output jack, unnamed alpha pot (one(1) just for volume, in the tone position lol! not pictured is a black plastic plug filling the other volume hole), Fender Mustang Fully Adjustable Bridge, Fender Neck Plate w/screws, Hardtail conversion plate from eyparts, string retention bar (not pictured), and some assorted screws :p
I had a couple of my friends over late on a thursday to assemble it all in one night...we ended up staying up till around 1:30 AM putting it all together!! I did the finishing touches such as putting in the matching tuners, and actually dropping in the bridge :p
I've had the pleasure of playing it almost every night since I've finished building it now, and it is such a joy to play!!! It sits in Drop F# for the most part, which is what most of the bands I listen to have their guitars to anyways, but I want to write some of my own stuff with this too!
Here is a couple more pictures of the guitar for you to see!
Bye for now!
