V-carcass for a DIY-project..

[Jouni]

Hi all!


I've been thinking about a diy-project for a while, there's plenty free time at work, I know a nice lady-friend that is trained in surfaces (restores old furniture and other stuff), I always get a GAS as the stew-mac "catalog" drops in the mail.

Someone is selling a carcass looking like this:

I wonder is it an Epi, or some other korean firewood??!!
looks like salvaged from a bonfire.

Is the neck-joint just glued in straight??

The Big question prolly is;

Could THAT be turned into a decent guitar, with good parts??

The looks won't be a big issue, I'm heading into the "steampunk" direction anyhoo...

I once found a broken guitar in a ditch that was in better shape than this. Yeah, I don't know about that neck joint. There's a line there that makes it look like someone sawed the neck off, then glued it back on. If it's _real_ cheap, then sure, but it appears the only thing you're saving yourself from (over starting with unshaped wood) is the fret work and a little bit of routing. The case looks pretty nice, but I don't think I'd pay very much for this.

That thing looks pretty grim. Don't waste your money.

Can you get it for $25?

looks like a piece of plywood to me.......that said...if its cheap enough, have some fun with it.

Looks like a good project if it is cheap enough

I think it'd be easier to drill some holes into it and make it into a animal habitat.

Have some little lizards and snakes live in it.

Looks scary. Don't pay more than 20$.

I think I'll pass the poor thing.

Just a clearcoat to finish, humbucker in the bridge, leave the routing and wires uncovered, THAT woul've been one SCARY axe!!

..Mahogany projects just don't come along often here.
