Latest train wrecks!

My usual explorer body style. This one is strictly for my GK3 guitar synth pickup, which allows me to preserve some of the terrific tiger maple stripes, without cutouts for conventional pickups.
Unfortunately, the whole rest of the body is a train wreck of lamination. I put it together out of left over pieces. I don't mind, though. I delight in my own incompetence!

The guitar is a Jay Turser.cost me about 50 bucks.
The bass neck was even cheaper. They both work fine.
Unfortunately, I'm not even close in equipment or skill to make my own necks.

I'm just the opposite. The chances of me correctly drilling holes exactly where they're supposed to be, even if I could measure and mark them accurately, is slim to none.

Shaping wood, on the other hand, is kind of like being able to build your ideal woman while massaging her.

Do you think you could put up a bigger and better pic, with a background with more contrast?

I'd like to get a better look at that.
