Posted on Dec 15 2014 11:29 PM TVTheWiredTurtle wrote: this is the nicest surf twanging rock guitar I've built for myself so far, if I may toot my horn. TK Smith neck and blade CC pickups with thomastik flatwounds, maple top-sugarpine body made by rutters. That is beautiful. I've always wanted to build myself a Bigsby style guitar and my recent introduction to T K Smith's original style pickups and your gorgeous build are fueling that fire. Well done!

JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Dec 16 2014 12:20 AM Thanks Badge! I was looking at racks, ugly cheap plastic things for $100, thinking, "there's got to be a poor man's alternative". Saw a guy made one out of PVC pipe for some $40. It got me to thinking, "what material have I got already so I can save $40?" A cedar porch glider has been sitting broken since a tree fell on it in a Santa Ana wind. I already salvaged a few of its slats to build my pedal board and the rocker carriage made a perfect base. The slat width was even pre-slotted and it was a matter of a few saw cuts and repositioning of bolts to assemble this. Literally a handful of modifications to re-engineer it. I still have the entire seat to make something else out of, and being cedar, it's weather-proof, softer than guitar finishes thus safe w/o padding, and pretty to boot in its barnwood silver patina.

That's a great backstory! (Santa Ana winds; oh I remember those.) I look at prices for rudimentary things nowadays and shake my head, being a CRB (cheap retired bast...). Number 2 son had part-time college job building mounts for industrial-size roof-mounted HVAC units & got pretty good at manipulating extruded aluminum without slicing himself. Built me a pedal board out of scrap during his lunch break one night. A little 2-sided velcro and suddenly I was organized.

Cheers, Jeff The green strat is cool - but I'm selling it cause the hot red one just tears it apart as for me. Seems to me that this heavy ash on deluxes is not for me...it weights the same as a les paul - 4,5 kilos. — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top
