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.:D:D

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.:D

Is the neck-joint just glued in straight??:confused:

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...:D
 
Wow.

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

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

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