  2. I like “project” guitars and basses too.

    Here’s one I put together a couple years ago.

    Fender Jazz style body, extra pickups, pots, knobs and bridge paired with a lefty fretless neck I bought off a guy.
    It had an odd knot in the playing surface, so I put that skull sticker over it and sprayed it with several coats of lacquer. I put a set of tape wound strings on it and some old tuners I had laying around.

  3. Here's my latest acoustic. I have a Les Paul and a couple of other electrics, but I suck at playing them. I am mostly an acoustic player now so I treated myself.

  7. Riding my bike one day I found the little purple First Act guitar sitting by a tree,..so I grabbed it!
    Sure it's a toy and intonation is non existent for serious playing,..but tune it in open E and use a slide and it demands attention. That toy gave me a smile and a happy heart. And some g.a.s. too. I am a classical trained percussionist but that day made me realize I love guitars too! And Bass, Piano, and Harmonica. IMG_20191022_172245.jpg

  8. I picked up a little 3/4-size classical that someone left behind in a hostel years ago while I was travelling. The bridge had lifted. It was a cheap thing to begin with, but I fixed it, restrung it, and it's always been one of my favourites to play. I jam on that thing hard and it's so forgiving. I've even gigged with it.

    I'm guilty for naming my guitars. That one's always been known as my Beach Bitch.
