DESCRIPTION:
I "vampirized" two guitars to build another one.
Used
- the hardware and neck of the ugly yellow Tele copy
- the Seymour Duncan humbucker of my cheap el Degas guitar
- Some cherry I had lying around

I show some of the tools I used and a few steps in the making of the guitar.

At the end I improvise a little something to let you hear it. (Don't know any complete song on the guitar, so I'm just noodling around).

I'm really happy with the guitar. It plays real good. Too bad I suck at guitar playing, hehehe.

Cherry is a very heavy wood. The guitar (9 1/2 lbs) is heavier than my Fender Precison bass (8 1/2 lbs).
The guitar will darken in color as it ages. When cherry is freshly cut, milled into boards and dried, it has a very light pinkish color (like it is right now). It will develop a beautiful deep red patina over time.


Background music is Danzig's Five Finger Crawl from the album 6:66 Satan's Child, 1999
