oh.

nice.

How's that Explorer husk that Josh found in the creepy hallway (see below) of our practice space building working out?

I've been thinking it over- trying to come up w/ the best plan for rebuilding it. I'll make a youtube of it, if it works out. First thing is to figure out how well the truss rod works.

Yes we should- Truss rod works fine. started life with a floating trem, then was patched and has been drilled for wraparound bridge...but the geometry is for a fender style bridge...so will need to go to a simple toploader. Let me know if you're into that.

here is a quick demo of #42 before I shipped it off.

sorry for not sharing more. I am absolutely buried in guitar builds- just trying to keep up, not disappoint anyone and not lose my mind. I'm headed to Rotterdam tomorrow to look at space- shit is getting serious.

working on a bolt-on bass VI neck- took apart Eric's to insure I've got a tight fit and finally figured out the spacing and layout for this guy... more on this later. also- just posted an interview with my friend Terry, who worked with me and really re-shaped the way I think about setting up guitars.

#40 looks fantastic!.
