Another DIY guitar added....
To my collection of build your own. This certainly is an addictive hobby. I now have a diy walnut Mockingbird, a Lapsteel and this one. On the drawing board is a Tele style (my version of course).
This guitar is made of mahogany on the back, pine in the middle with a purpleheart sound board and red oak cap (not a conventional guitar wood). The body is chambered. The neck is maple/rosewood. I used blade style humbuckers with push/pull volume pots for a series and parallel configuration. Three mini switches for pickup selection. String thru with purpleheart ferruls.
It's a very comfortable style of body for sitting and playing (my style of playing at home). I venture to say I like the tone of this guitar. OMHO of course.
cheers

Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.

thats a really cool design. Did you go to school to be a luthier?

My schooling comes from the Internet. Over the past few years I've built furniture as a hobby; this is just an extention. I enjoy it very much. Family and friends seem to welcome the things I build for them.
great fun

Very cool - you've definitely got some talent there. I can't wait to see your Tele!

The Tele I've drawn up will be a double cut away. It definitely won't be the normal Tele. The only thing that will resemble a Tele will be the single coil pickups.
I won't get into the project until mid summer. Have other things to do right now.
