Jet benchtop spindle sander This is one of the myst heavy duty sanders I’ve ever seen. It weighs 75 lbs! I have the complete set of spindles and plates for it to meet a wide range of needs. I even have a few new sanding sleves for it that I’ll throw into the deal. I can ship this one but it will cost $70.00 to do so. There is zero paint chipping and zero rust on it. My unit is about a year and a half old and has really only seen light duty. I can also accept local pickup. Price: $220.00 for the sander and $70.00 shipped in the U.S. Just $220.00 if picked up locally. http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=3875 I’ll be listing my cabinets. 14 deep drawers 2 shallow, 3 cabinets with two overhead hanging cabinets with glass sliding doors. 1.5” tabletop (could use a sanding and refinish but structurally sound. This set is huge and would need to be picked up locally. I need to take updated pictures but they are in excellent dent free shape! I’ll entertain offers on this one! Folks, this is all pristine stuff and has had very little use on any of it. I will acccept cash only if you pick the item up and I will accept Paypal if you are having something shipped. I can provise more detailed pictures of everything if needed.

economy got me! I have a ton of guitars that I've built for myself and the more I build the more I feel I'm taking away from my kids. In the very near future I'll be posting my big equipment for sale and even might sell my cabinets. My Re-saw bandsaw will be going- less than a year old My Jet sander My router- never use this one My jointer and my production drill press among other things will go. I imagine due to shipping costs most of this stuff will be sold locally or will have to be picked up My work area might go if I find the right buyer

Orgmorg: As always, killer original design. I love the destressed looks of these guitars and I'm a bit saddened that we won't see any more of them in the GOTM. However, I look forward to what we might see in the future! Metal Matt: I fell in love with this guitar the second I saw it and If I could afford it this axe would be sitting at my house right now. Perfect cut, color and design...dude you got my vote this month, no questions asked....now I'll give you $500.00 for it LOL! Chops1983: I love the reverse headstock and the overall shape of the guitar. I'm not a big fan of the finish or the body inlay. Just seems like it was put there to fix a blemish or something. Also, the back wood looks out of place a bit. All in all, a good solid build you should be proud of! Hooglebug: I really like the shape you designed with this guitar. If it didn't have those pickups and those green keystone tuners it would be a winner for me Miko: I envy this guitar. It's beautiful and the wooden cone is awesome. I'd upgrade the tail piece to something that stands out a bit. Metal Matt beat you out for one reason. I'd play the V more than this acoustic but really! I wish there could be two winners because you deserve it! Daniel Sorbera: I love the shape (as always) and the quilt and color are excellent choices. I guess for me the uniqueness of the body shape is wearing off since I've been seeing more of them. I guess shape can be the victim of success. C.R.S.Km.D: What can I say. looks like a kit guitar and until I see build pictures that's what it is. A kit with no finish. I'll say I like the choice of white pickups! props to EMG for giving us two color options! However, I tend to be more interested in the cab than the actual guitar. Sorry....one post doesn't help either. Avengers63: This is an interesting take on the Dean shape but personally the overly rounded edges don't do much for me. I like the wood choices and the quality looks great, just doesn't click with me but pay no mind...I build pointy guitars... SwedishLuthier: I think this is a great shape that reminds me of a rick. I guess it's that drastic upper horn. This build strikes me as being a top of the line. Any other month and I could see myself voting for it. I'm just not a fan of the amber finish. If it was a quilted red or blue this would have been a harder decision. Rhoads56: Super excellent professional guitar and being able to put a band like Meshuggah in the driver seat is quite a feather in your cap! That alone should make you proud of the Ormsby eight string! The distressed look of the Swamp ash is really cool and almos gives it a zebrawood look. Unfortunately this month I really felt that Metal Matts Toxic V outclassed everyone! It was interesting to notice that there wasn't one standard off the shelf shape this month (well there was one but really, that didn't count!) That's really cool and shows the innovation that this forum is bringing to the guitar building community. I learn every time I come here and I am consistently impressed by the level of artistry that comes from this place! Keep it up folks!

I went back through the thread on this... there is an easy way to fix it. Depending on how many degrees you needed to reangle the neck pocket you could easily correct it by going with a 7 or 8 string neck. That would allow you to recenter the neck pocket and widen the pickup cavities to get everything back under center! I know you don't build necks but it's a thought for anyone who likes the body but didnt know how to fix it.

If i read your post right you want a single pickup guitar with a kill switch instead of any knobs. Really, what's the debate about? do it one of two ways push down momentary switch. It's easier to accidentally flip a toggle when playing than physically pushing down a button Or Get a covered toggle Nothing cooler than an aircraft style covered toggle to get the job done!

This guitar is two pieces of solid BE maple glued together and it's a little less than 1.5" thick, Maple bolt on neck with a rosewood board. Has a guitarheads active pickup with a drop orange tone cap on it. It's not overly heavy and it's tone is not super bright. It may be the cap and the pickup but it's pretty warm sounding. I thought it would be super bright but I was wrong. BCR made a few solid maple guitars (including the fretboard) and Neal Moser indicated to me that they were usually warm too. Just because it's dense doesn't mean it has to be bright!

I love wrap around bridges but I’m an old BCR guy so the fit is natural for me. If you like your fender shapes with the strings close to the body you might want to recess it but I like neck angle on my personal guitars so again, it worked out nicely for me. I also swapped out the posts for tone pros mostly because I hate seeing the bridge angled down. Using the tone pros keeps everything nice and flat. As for the specs on the tele being built, I like the MOP guard with the black outline. Should be nice looking when it’s done. I wish I could get into standard telecasters. Something I’ve always loved about the utilitarian shape but I’ve always hated the single coils and bridge.

with what you have I'd keep it solid color and traditional in all aspects. You have the pickguard, control plate and bridge. Diverting from the traditional wit things like a 3x3 headstock would turn alot of people off but all in all who cares if it's for you or a customer looking for the specific specs. People get attached to traditional shapes and tend to think less of a build that's outside tradition so with all the hardware that you've already picked, I'd suggest going standard.....unless you go with something like this and throw tradition out of the window!

YOu answered it with this post. I had a very old Danelectro that was formica and it was completely hollow and around the edges was a white tape or some sort of cloth glued around the edges to hide the fact that the formica was actually two piece glued to edges. I had a reissue U2 Danelectro that was painted chip board but that was after their resurgence in the late 90's I was recently thinking of doing the same thing with a build and toyed with using solid Corian and even priced a formica top at home depot but I guess I just let the idea get away from me. I loved the old Dano's and those guitars got me into the best Alt country band ever! Southern Culture on the skids. The tele is cool looking but i'd like to see you keep it real and go seriously silvertone or Dano with this build just for that retro feeling! Oh, and build an amp case too! YOu gotta have a tube amp in a case if you got a dano!

you don't want to have them if you can't play them??? I think I want every guitar I see but I am a gear addict

is it Aqua Boomerang on both sides? or are the sheets thin and you are going to maike it like an acoustic?

I was going to comment on this last night but I went to his website and got lost for about an hour! That's killer work...I need to sell some builds so I can afford to have some custom work done for myself!

I get mine at wood craft

to fix your tail piece issue use a Tone pros wrap around bridge or go string through. I'd personally use the wrap around just to give the face a cleaner look since you seem to be going to a figure 4 control package.

I've used black walnut for a neck. I used carbon rods to add a bit of strength but if you look at harness charts it compares to mahogany.

Yup, makes life a bit easier for a recessed floyd!

That's his fret slotting blade

I really like it alot! The shape is unique in a curved pointy sort of way. That top sort of looks like black limba...a little bit. I like the darker stain, it's a clean burst. I'd shave a bit off of the bridge pickup mounting ring. I like to see a little bit of the pickup sticking up out of the hole but really, that's just my opinion.

I've had discussions on other forums about this in the past and I doubt there is any scientific proof that a scarf is stronger than using a solid join and with a slight volute I'd be willing to bet there is no measurable difference. I've never used scarf joint and have always cut my necks from solid pieces and I've never had a neck break or be weak at the nut. I do leave the area a little larger or leave a volute. This process is as subjective as anything else in building. Neal Moser always makes his necks out of at least two boards joined the length of the neck because he feels having that joint prevents the grain from doing anything funky in the way of making the neck unstable. To me that's a better arguement for neck stability than aaying a neck is less stable if you don't use a scarf joint. The only reason I would ever say a scarf is better is because it should help you save the amount of wood that is wasted and it will allow you to use thinner boards t make the neck. I use 3x3 neck blanks to make my necks which is not always cost affective.

psw: I love Telecasters and Kahlers so this modification was a success for me but I suspect the real accomplishment is the sustainer- which has the distinction of having the longest subject thread in any forum on the planet! The sound clips are cool and I even like the color! However, for me a sustainer is not something I would use. I love the advancement in technology but I've never thought about buying a guitar with one so voting it as GOTM because it has one would not seem to work for me. Metal Matt: YOu got yourself a beautiful piece of purple heart and what you did with it is clean and functional. I just got my first 7-string and I wouldn't know what to do with 8 but I like how clean your lines are. I've worked with solid purple heart and for anyone who has never worked with it they could never know how had it is and what it does to your poor tooling! My only concern with the build is what will happen to the PH once it gets a dose of UV. It tends to just turn brown which would be a shame with how nice it looks. The oil finish wont do anything to prevent that from happening whereas using some V blocker to keep the UV out would have helped to maintain that color. This was an excellent build! I love your necks... Daniel Sorbera: I love the trans blue finish over the ash body in conjunction with the contoured body. It looks ergonomically comfortable to play and it would catch my eye if it were at a Guitar Center. My problem is, most of the pictures you posted don't really show much of the guitar. The only good one was the one next to the bronco. There was only one full front picture and it was washed out. I'm guessing that this guitar looks a million miles better in person though. Mr. Buttman: This guitar reminds me of the ones I grew up playing. Red bursts to black semi hollow body. As with the build above yours, the pictures leave a lot to be desired but in your case, I was able to get a better idea of the build quality. A couple of thing to note: The control plate cover on the back. You could have done without that by feeding the control pots through the F-Holes once they were wired to the harness. It's the common method of doing so with F-Holes. Also, the edges look more bubbled than arched. If that was the intended look then forgive me. It doesn't look bad but just different. Killemall: Dude, you picked the wrong pictures to post in the thread. I found better ones with less glare and washout in your phtotobucket. I love Explorers and I love this one. The veneer came out excellent and knowing that you did it without vacuum is excellent. The black hardware looks nice and makes the guitar look menacing. I payed extra attention to the headstock and the laminates and sculpting> It looks awesome and is easily recognizable. That being said, I'm not a fan of the heel and that dark piece of wood you used to bring the neck and body together. It looks out of place to me. I also don't care for the cover plate. It doesn't match the back of the body and stands out a bit too much for me. Other than those two minor things, this guitar looks great! decadentjon: This is a nice clean take on a Tele shape. I actually like the deep set neck and how it shows. Adds an interesting tone to the face of the guitar and gives you a preview of what's on the back! The neck looks clean and the lack of inlay might be a cheep move in the minds of others but I think it looks cool and I wish I had thought of something like that myself! When it comes down to it I would likely not buy this guitar but I do like the way it looks. Boggs: This is an interesting build. From what I remember of your earlier builds this one is much improved. It's also cool to see pictures of it being played live. That's always cool to see! A couple of things allude me though. The air brushing. Pinstripes on the back and the writing on the front. They don't seem to mesh well together. Personally, I would rather have the writing on the front and lose the pin striping on the back. The other thing is the angle of the pickups. I understand that you angled each pickup to ensure a pole piece under each string. However, the only one that looks out of place is the neck pickup. I understand what you were doing but the bridge and middle pickup match each other but the neck pickup doesnt. J 48 Johnson: This is one of the coolest Les Paul style guitars I've seen in a long time. It has a slew of features and the attention to detail on the fretboard is awesome! I absolutely love the color choice of the top along with the Bisgby and the wooden pickguard. I'm not such a big fan of the back though. My attention is drawn to the darker neck blank which prevents the guitar from flowing for me and I'm not a fan of how the neck body joint is contoured. Although, I do like that it's a neck through and not a set neck...cool idea! Daniel Sorbera...again: I'm glad you edited your pictures, no strings no votes! I love the black limba (I'm getting started on two black limba builds right now) and every aspect of this acoustic is top of the line. You outdid you electric that you entered. I think the top is boring compared to the back though. I would have liked to have seen the whole thing out of limba but that's just me. You should be really proud of this build, it's really clean! jvillavicencio: with the quality of builds that get posted for the GOTM ensuring you are presenting your creation with the highest quality pictures will help you compete. I like the fretboard...a lot actually but I'm not sure about the rest of it. The shape is okay...sort of reminds of me something Hamer would have done. I'd like to see better pictures that show more of the details. Blusey: The top on this guitar is great and I like how you tackled binding on a contoured top! Some of the short cuts were a bit concerning to me. Painting the headstock instead of using a cap (which was taken around back to the back of the headstock????) Going bolt on instead of set neck, contouring and not arching the top. These things could have improved the overall look and appeal of the guitar. This was a tough month but for me it came down to the 7 string and the acoustic. Metal Matt gets my vote this month! Great job everyone!

Those are some of the scariest pictures I've ever seen. I kept scrolling back up just to see them. It was like a train wreck...just had to look! Stew-Mack sells a really nice binding jig for arched bodies that would work. The link that was posted above was a really simple way of doing it if you didnt need to replicate it on different thicknesses.
