Kent Hollowbody project
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 5:01 am
So I went to the Local guitar shop to buy some tubes to replace ones I had to steal from my brother's amp to sell my old bassman. Walking into a guitar shop with hundreds of dollars in your pocket is a bad/good idea. THere was this beautfull horrible Kent bolt on neck hollowbody thing that sounded awful and the strings were a mile above the fret board and I just had to have it. I got it for $100 and made it into something pretty cool!
started life as this

the pickups were a joke, they worked, but with my big ass sunn amp on 10 they were bedroom practice levels. this is why

so I did this

and then this

and then this

a little filing of frets and shimming of the neck and its actually pretty playable, but it shines as an open tuning slide guitar!
