Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I am goint to route the depth of the neck pocket all the way thru and put the neck there. Then I am unsure if I will hollow it and put a drop top on it, or just a drop top. It will be electric. Opinions and questions welcome.

daveq Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I like it!!! More pics!!! Does your wife play guitar? Have you finished the green/purple guitar yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 She is learning, and I thought an electric would be nicer...thinner neck, smallerguage strings, and Its somethin to do. The green one needs some finishing touches...Ie, strings, polish, and putting the switch in...and wiring it up. Happening today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Well, here's one for ya. 2 "buy one, get one free" Camels was $10. A carton was $23.99. ***? And no pic update, but I have selected a piece for the necl. Debating on wether or not to resaw and laminate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renablistic Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 10 bucks for two packs? ***? or 4? If two, that's terrible! That is so kidnapping the thread, hijack as the 'errorists call it. I think this thing is gonna be awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yeah, I hijacked my own thread. I cut the wood today. One problem. Due to the fact that I cut it for a set neck (dumb me), I need to buy a new piece. Oh well, it wasnt my best choice anyway. I think a good flamed maple neck is a good coice, especially if the figure dropps out where the top will cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
