Well at the risk of getting drummed out of this corps, I have posted a visual record of the evolution or de-evolution (you be the judge) of one guitar. The guitar in question started out in 2018 as a body I made from a laminated pine strip board that I bought at Lowes on to which I glued a maple cap. I have tried quite a few different pickups in it - P90's, Railhammers, Alnico V hum buckers, Ceramic hum buckers, and have settled on Alnico ii hum buckers to which I grafted the covers from some GFS gold foils that were also tried in the guitar. For quite a while I had a modified GFS Tremolo paired with a top loading, hard tail strat type bridge that I modified to allow for the string travel to the tremolo, but I just could not get the tuning stability I was hoping for. The current bridge is an unmodified top loading strat type bridge that I loaded with brass saddles.
This has been an interesting and fun process to say the least, and the current version, I hesitate to say "end result" or "final version," is something that I am happy with. The insets are thin brass sheet.
Guitar Evolution or de-evolution?
