DR99 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wow, that's pretty awesome!! I wouldn't even know where to start building something like that. A guy that is a host on my local radio show likes to restore old guitars they are always teasing him about it on the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ever order any guitar parts from Grizzly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_dave Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 No I have not. I haven't even heard of them to be honest. I will have to look into them! most of those parts on that guitar came from a donor guitar which the neck came from, or parts that I already had left over from upgrades. The tail piece came from Warmoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Grizzly has a ton of guitar parts, kits, everything really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brien Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 That is a hardcore project. Let us know how it sounds. And be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_dave Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I wired just the one pickup straight to the jack just because I couldn't wait to play it, which is why it's taking so long to completely finish it. To be honest I think it sounds pretty killer. The electronics in it are very cheap but it sustains for days. I plan to upgrade the pickups and I think it'll make a great improvement. Sure I sound biased, but it truly am impressed by the sound. Especially for my first guitar build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_dave Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks red, and regopit. Yes it is a solid body. It hasn't even been weight relieved like most les Paul's. It's a heavy bugger.. Which is why I believe it has such a great tone to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
