Jehle Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR... oh, just kidding... Well, here is my entry for the CBG build. The supplies I used: 1 Cardboard cigar box 1 poplar maple 1x2 from Home Depot frets and tuners courtesy of cheap eBay auctions left over 1/4 round for bracing. Scale = 25 1/8" (my favorite) Notice the cut out in the top ... Thanks to Hitone for that tip. Neck is carved from that one stick of poplar with a Strat inspired carve on the headstock. Notice the brass "nut" for tone. And, here's the sound clip. Doubled just because I wanted to. White Owl CBG Quote Link to comment
Nitefly SA Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) I am dubbing this guitar..."the fuglycaster" Not that i have a chance with Mr.Jehle's creation lurking around...but here it goes Nut made of 3 flat head screws grover tuners (distressed) ormsby style headstock 4, count em, 4 frets mystery speaker stand/ply body newspaper top, it didnt have a top for i while but i thought it needed something. strings are D,G,e the bridge was to be made of 3 bass saddles i had lying around, but i saw this piece of PVC and thought it would work better, it did, that big hole on back was for 2 reasons, so i cold screw it to the body, and i can put a bolt in there to act as a whammy bar. I apologize in advance for the sound sample, i dont really know how to play the song so i was improvizing, the guitar isnt in tune really and it not that great of a sound but here it goes http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=418909 Edited January 20, 2006 by Nitefly SA Quote Link to comment
