Photos of my project.

Description: This original guitar I purchased body, neck and other components (tail piece) no tuning pegs was found in a local Vancouver Thrift shop chain. The SPCA, on Broadway near Alma St. The guitar its self the neck was in the best condition so I decided to keep the neck. But discarded the body, you could tell it was done in a "secondary school or home workshop" or something of this nature.

My friend Daniel Ouellet and I have been working on this guitar for quite some time. But while other projects got in the way, soon he and I will get back to the electric guitar soon. The neck is a standard fender-type neck, the neck plate has its original serial number on it. Along with four machine-screws to keep the neck in place with the body.

Neck also came with a slot for a truss rod (a rod to assist with the tention of the neck) and body. I have ordered a couple replacement pickups and a whammy bar attachment, the pick ups are not installed yet, but the whammy bar attachment has been attached.

Page being currently updated, images will be uploaded soon.
