Re: 1974X 18 watt - StewMac kit

None of the ones I’m watching on tm are selling at all! My friend would love this as a project though, so if ...

Re: My very own gibson shocker

That really is a weak point - stand on a lead while plugged in and bang I have a hairline crack that makes me want to take extra care. Wireless from now on for this one may be prudent.

Re: My very own gibson shocker

Nope. Not yet but you're on the right track. Do it again in white or whatever is there already and cut the neckward side to match the curve of the pickguard. Funny you should say that, because that’s exactly what I threw half a dozen test iterations at and they alllllll looked poos Then I bow to yo...

Re: My very own gibson shocker

So whats the verdict? Shocker or rocker ?

Its solid and it works.
I tried to give it a shape that reflected the aesthetic that was allready in the design.

Re: Large Headstocks on Strats

I don’t like anything on a strat, except maybe magma.
