2009 Guitar Projects!

Post by Josh »

This Year I'm going to try to make 3 guitars.
A Fiesta Red Fender Esquire- I could make this from parts on the bay.
A Sonic Blue Fender Jassmaster- I'll make this last since I already have my Jaguar. I might warmoth this Its going to look like a 62' i saw on ebay.
A Fiesta Red Electric XII- I want to make this first Im gonna need custom Everything on this cause the dont reissue parts on these so guitar builders and ebay will be a must.
With these along with a couple CV Squiers My Stable will be set!
I cant guarantee these will be done cause i need money to fund this but The XII is a must though.
Heres What I want it to Look like when im done:

good luck finding a vintage bridge, i have been looking for a while, if memory serves me right the last one that i saw was like 169.00 BIN.
and besides that the 80's strat XII's have the same bridge, but the last one i saw of those went for like 500 bucks.

Twin Reverbs are actually pretty good weapons on their own, if you push them down a flight of stairs.
