…and here it is two years later and I’m still making guitars!
Here are some pics of my latest, the Sparkle Guitar. I wanted to make a lighter guitar so I used Jelutong for the hollowed-out body with a stripe of figured redwood down the middle. The top is maple with 20-30 coats of nitrocellulose lacquer over red metalflake. I made the humbucker pickups on homemade wood bobbins, and installed series/parallel switching. This one has a 26″ scale neck and I think it sounds just great de-tuned a whole step. It sounds so good that I think I’ll concentrate on making more 26″ scale D tuned guitars for awhile. The end result is 6lbs, 4 ozs, lighter than my Strat by a few ounces.
