Enough sideburns to last a lifetime.
Just bit the bullet on actually spending money on my next big DIY music project. The other guitarist in my band was drooling over the Fender Meteora, but both didn’t have the cash for one and doubts they’ll be making any left-handed ones. So, in the spirit of camaraderie, I’m helping build one, especially considering the amount of weird crap he’s learned to play thanks to me. Going with a premade neck because I’m lazy and hate contouring, but the rest is gonna be formed of raw wood and craftsmanship.

I’ll post actual pictures as actual progress happens, along with my Rhodes V refinishing project. Finally warm enough to use the woodshop without running up a huge propane bill.

Built a couple. Read up on safety, learn how to safely discharge caps and read voltage, and keep your space organized. Safety is entirely about not skipping steps, ever, and if you follow a pattern of “check plugs, check voltage, safe discharge, check voltage, begin work” religiously, you’ll be all right. Build that habit, and never deviate, because safety is key.
