I’m a little bit overdue to build something stupid, so…roughing out a plan to rectify that situation asap. I’ve got a MIJ Jaguar neck that I recently did a refret on, a pre routed standard Tele body (thankfully no string through was drilled), a pocket full of idiot ideas, and ain’t nothin’ gonna stop this from happening, not even the very obvious issues here. Nah, it’ll be fine. The wrap around bridge will allow me to get the 24inch scale that’s required, and to deal with the break angle, I’m going to build a solid shim for the neck pocket - guessing about 2mm, we’ll see. I’ll move the bridge pickup towards the neck by a few millimetres so it’s not right on the bridge, then do a massive smugglers route under the pickguard (of which I’ll cut a custom one, using this as a very basic template). Then decide on switching/control options, and a coat of the finest paint that $6.50 can buy. Should be fun!!! P.S please feel free to point out anything huge I might have missed here! #mashup #customguitar #justforfun #guitar #failureisalwaysanoption #telecaster #jaguar #shouldntbeleftalone #beexcellenttoeachother

Rainy day off shenanigans with what was an Ibanez RG140 (‘87 Korean factory). Yet another of my previously on hold projects, I picked this up in its original and completely broken condition from a pawn shop, ages ago with no idea what I wanted to do with it. A good hunt through the parts drawer recently, and a rather daft/excellent experiment is underway with a P90 and a mini humbucker, and a raft of other modifications… For years it’s been one of my favourite things, to take what’s basically landfill and turn it into something completely unique and fun to play. These experiments are not meant to be “perfect” but as long as it plays damn well, sounds great, and helps someone write some jams, my job is done. I’ll let you know how it turns out! #guitartech #guitarepair #customguitar #justforfun #ibanez #guitar #tymguitars #repairshop #guitarshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #cursedobjects #experiment #wip #beexcellenttoeachother

The Green Hornet. Hahaha, decided to finish this little idiot thing up today as I’m waiting on parts to arrive. It started out life as one of those Kawasaki toy guitars, but I felt like it could be fun to throw a proper neck on it, reset the bridge, drop a P90 in and yeah, paint it metallic green…It’s certainly not got sustain for days, but it’s actually not as awful as I thought it would be. #customguitar #kawasaki #guitar #gearnerds #guitartech #guitarbuilder #green #custom #justforfun #luthier #isaquestionabletag #brisbane #blackcatboneguitars
