I love his stuff, I die laughing all the time. He takes Mustangs, Jazzmaster, Jagstang, Tele & etc and mismatches parts.... "this don't work.... ughh... how bout this!". I hear he visits offset forum. Wish he'd post here or on JS. He throws his projects on ebay for next to nothing, people bid his stuff up quick.
What the fuck was said about my hair!?

That post wasn't there when I started doing my searches for "Garage Tone guitar making" and digging through results, and I hit reply when I was done about 10 minutes later.
Whatever. I am sending him a message now.

That guy is awesome, and his prices are fantastic. He already got back to me discussing my rather odd request. I really just have to decide whether to have the tailpiece routed as a Jaguar trem or have him do nothing but mark it and I'll install a proper TOM bridge/tailpiece.

If anyone cares, I found out who made Bilinda's guitars:
Philippe Dubreuille

Ah, so
he's the one behind Primal Scream's charming P90'd monstrosity. I tend to fancy that side of him (along with his work for Belinda) over some of his more daring creations. That is, of course, unless I moved to the Midwest and rocked out regularly with a laser light show along with TEH SLONZ.

Needs grain filler and sanding, but it's cool to have it. It feels very comfortably shaped, perhaps moreso than the typical Mustang body.

How much does a Bilinda custom go for?

Does anyone else build/has built customs like this before?

well, finally found a neck for a decent price. it's from a 1972 musicmaster. I actually just paid for it today, so won't likely have it until next week. but here's the seller's link for photos:
here
Pros:
-vintage 'mojo'
-already finished
-don't have to bother with getting a nut cut (hopefully)
-cheap ($160 shipped)
Cons:
-vintage 'fretwear'
-CBS era's dubious quality control (doubtful that it's an issue)
worst case scenario, i can probably flip it on ebay for about the same or slightly more than I bought it for and get another neck. I guess I opted for getting a vintage neck for all the pros, as well as saving a bit of money in regards to the tuners, finishing, and nut work pricing.
if 1972 is even considered vintage
The remaining expenses:
-Mustang pickguard
-bridge pickup (possibly a SC-sized humbucker)
-electronics (pots, shielding, cap, jack)
-grain filler
-primer
-paint
(please let me know if you have any of the above and are willing to sell for sorta cheap)

I think the industry has deemed pre 1980 to be vintage,
I almost thought we were bidding on the same neck, glad we weren't.
I have sonic blue paint, but don't think yr painting the guitar that?

while most define "Vintage" to be anything from 1940s to 1979, technically i think its anything that is over 25 years old.
So [to date] vintage can be defined as anything made prior to 1985, crazy stuff
Great deal on that neck! A quick fret-leveling should fix the dents. Often times they'll look bad but its only a hair deep.

I read hereee:
http://www.shoegaze.co.uk/shoegazeforum ... t4018.html that they are made by this dude in Denmark, and I think he does Kevin's guitars aswell, like probably that purple and red tort Jag he has.
Edit: lulz just realised someone already answered that like twice, sorry.
Project looks awesome by the way.
