Now I am semi-retired and back to building guitars and writing a book about boutique guitars. So guitars.
Built this relic from spare parts I had accumulated.
Holy Shit! That's awesome!! Building musical instruments is like 3-4 hobbies all rolled into one!!
Very impressive! That's really cool! Love to hear more.
Speakng of Guitars...when I pulled out my old Peavey guitar thinking I was gonna' try to learn (again), I first took it to a music shop to get it tuned up (it had been in the case for 30+ years). The guy at the shop said it's actually worth quite a bit of money! I didn't think there was any market for Peavey stuff, but according to him they're actually quite sought after now days. When I bought it, it was a poor man's Strat. It's basically in brand new condition. I was really surprised. No idea how much it's worth (probably not a lot), but that it's worth anything at all kinda' made me happy.
