Some serious collector stuff here. The estimated values seem ridiculous on most of them. The Artistry of the Guitar - Day 1 - Guernsey's

A master has passed away. Kazuo Yairi, 81; guitar maker favored by McCartney - chicagotribune.com

A collector friend brought this Fender Electric XII by today. I think it's a '66 The case was marked Baja Marimba Band. I remembered them from when I was a kid so I did a you tube search. I found several videos from variety shows where they appeared. It's easy to spot this guitar in many of...

I bought a broken acoustic in need of a neck reset. I've been wanting to learn more about this type of repair. It's a crappy guitar, but kind of cool anyway. Fifteen inch lower bout, with a cutaway. The size is very similar to my OOO. The neck came off without much work. The joint was sloppy...

My Daughters Band The Seriouslys | Vegas Seven

I looked at quite a few different winder designs before I built this one. It's was my first attempt at one of these. The mainshaft is driven by a roller on to the 5" wheel on the right side (when viewed from the front), which in turn drives the other 5" wheel at a 10/1 ratio to the mainshaft for...

I'm building this guitar almost entirely out of stuff I have on hand. I started a few days ago, but stopped because my band saw was dull. I finally got some new blades today and made good progress. The body is made from some poplar that was left over from a stairway that I built. The neck is...

That was the question I heard while I had the seven foot long piece of mahogany standing in the corner of my guitar room for several weeks while it acclimated. "A guitar!" I would answer to sometimes bewildered faces. I've been working on this for about four weeks now...

I have had this guitar for a while, but finally got around to winding a set of pickups for it. I thought the original black hardware would look shitty with the nickel pickup covers so I switched it all to chrome, and added a les paul style pickguard. I also polished the uglier than hell finish...

A while back, I picked up this severely molested '66 Super Reverb Amp. The original cabinet was long gone, along with the speakers. The internals were also heavily modded. Among other things, the PT had been switched to one from a Twin Reverb. It didn't take much work to get it working pretty...

A sad day.

I traded for this a few days ago. So far I'm pretty happy with it. We'll find out later how it sounds with a P12R, and some vintage tubes. The guitar is an Epi Alleykat that I picked up a couple months ago.

A '02 les paul studio followed me home today. I had to put it down finally to make this post. :D

I'm thinking about getting some straplocks. What brand do you prefer, and why? Do you have to buy complete sets, or can you buy the button parts for the guitar alone?

It's almost done. I'll wind a pickup for it today, and string it up. This is my first build that is this involved. I've made others, but they were all bolt-on necks. I glued the blanks for the body, and neck several months ago. I was pretty busy racing all summer, and didn't have much time for...

I got an Uke over the weekend. It's really nothing special. Just a cheap chinese one. I think it's concert size. The scale is around 13 5/8". Overall it measures 23 1/2" long. I can't put this thing down. It's really making me want a nicer one to play. Does anyone have recommendations In The...

The body is built from some poplar that was leftover from a job that I did a few months ago. The top is mahogany veneer. The sides and back are black. The neck is a mystery neck that I bought on ebay. It turned out to be pretty nice. 12" rad 1-5/8ths nut Strat style rout. The tuners, neck plate...

I built this little cabinet for my 1X12 combo project.
