как сделать электрогитару

I heard you liked ASMR, hand tool woodworking, artsy fartsy filming, and my daughter's perpetual nonsense, ... so here's an extra dose of all of that!

Don't miss the sound test!
   • Quick SOUND TEST of my neck thru guit...  

This is what happens when I can actually go to the lumber store and buy wood: I don't use my furniture to turn them into music instruments.
So ... here's my 4th guitar build, it's a custom shaped, neck through, offset semi-hollow body (or heavily chambered? thinline ? I do'n't know...), with P90 pickups, handcrafted in Belgium.
This took me 2 months to make, while working extremely slowly for various practical reasons. The build itself wasn't particularly challenging as it only consisted of combining, on the same instrument, a series of stuff I've already experimented with in my previous builds (a thinline body, a neck through, bound fretboard, I even re-used my own custom body shape, I already worked with all the hardware, and all the wood species). The only novelties for me were the use of P90's from Lollar, the wooden knobs and switch tip, and the 24 frets.

Oh, and this is part of the Great Guitar Build Off Unofficial Challenge 2020 !

Specs are:
- 5 piece center piece laminate (mahogany - wenge -walnut)
- walnut wings, wenge top, ebony fretboard, mahogany and wenge knobs
- 648 mm scale, 24 frets
- Lollar soapbar P90's
- Schaller Bridge - Kluson tuning machines - Graphtec nut
- finish : tung oil and polyurethane
- the pre-wired harness comes from nebulabelgium.com

Here comes the moment where I thank you all for making the Electric Shelf 335 go viral (the name was an idea I picked up in the comment section).
It makes my hobby seem a little less extravagant to me (as well as my friends and family ...) and keeps me motivated.
