At the moment I cant even see my bench but here is what's spilling off the sides:

I'm in the nut making and assembly stage on this naughty girl right here.

[szlash280z]

I cut a nut slot too deep on that guitar... so it continues to be on the bench. lol

I've been waiting to see a burst like that for ages, you did a great job on it.

[oigun]

Just finished..

[ihavenofish]

having fun with unusual pickup designs.

A Very Bad Smell...

Grain filling and sealing with an egg albumin based glair is a time consuming bitch... One coat / pass down... 3 to go... Times 5... Blech... I'd like to about puke.

[j.six]

....crazy Lefties. 624T getting closer to completion. It'll be Daphne blue with black hardware, two humbuckers, rosewood board, SS frets. Noticed earlier that the template slipped when drilling the tuner holes. D'oh! Dowel city, population: me.



Fun with scarf joints!



I put a piece of ebony between the maple. Should look neat when I wind up shaping the neck.

[Hazboticus]

.....I want one of each...

[free2rock]

A test fit for a long overdue project.

[BWGuitars]

I have a bunch of stuff on the bench right now, but the most current are a pair of Double II's:


Some outside shots of the maple guitar:




And in the midst of all the chaos in the shop at the moment, I was finally able to finish up my personal guitar/pickup testing machine. Who said mesquite was just for BBQ?:

[poro78]

Well... on my workbench is mainly dust.

Here's the workbench.

[Brian I]

I'm getting this Dreadnought ready to ship, and I'm about to start finishing a uke I started on Monday.

[Freddy G]

A 1955 Gretsch Duo-Jet.
Looks pretty good right?



WRONG! Look what somebody did to try to get the action lower. The removed the fretboard and installed a long wedge shape piece of mahogany under it and then glued the board back on (not straight either)



Here's another angle



But wait, there's more!

Some creative neck/body joinery



When in doubt, pin it from every angle







I would love to meet the person that did this so I could slap them

[BWGuitars]

Holy hell, Freddy! That looks like a pile of... work right there!
