Hobbies?

[AmericanBuffalo]

I build electric guitars for a hobby. Did it professionally for several years. Worked at Hamer guitars and Washburn guitars. Worked as a guitar tech on the road and also toured as a guitar player with a couple bands. That was in the late 80's early 90's.
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.

Well when you said you were pulling out the ol geetar again I got excited! I love guitars! Now I don't know what model Peavey you have but I am gonna guess its a T-60 and yeah one in great shape could fetch $700 - $1000 maybe more!
Got several pictures of my guitar building in my thread GUITARS you can stop in there and see how I keep outta trouble.
