Is that a bank of switches below the neck pickup (black section near the lower horn)? It's kinda hard to see what that is... Cool as hell looking though!!
Thanks.
It sure is.
4 switches. It will be wired with split humbucker options.
Awww yeah

Some cool ideas happening there with those trems!

Reworked Starcaster neck.
I made the swoop a bit deeper. I made the head more narrow by taking off 3mm.
I also rounded off the shape near the first tuning head.

Looks really good. With your changes it's a nicer looking headstock.

Went for a subtle tint.
I also painted the swoop brown, just like some of the 70s headstocks I've seen.

Hello, how did I miss this?
It looks fantastic!

That headstock looks great with the painted edge rout. Nice work, there.

A friend gave me a guitar neck which was attached to a Tennis racket. Some crazy art noise guitar. Don't ask.
It's from one of those Kmart, Target guitars which are terrible.
It's a tiny neck.
So I decided to make a body for it out of French pine, even though I have a tonne of other projects I should be working on.

Looks cool. A little like a Swinger/Maverick cross.

I finished the Thurstang.
Well, I may change the bridge at some point, or just the saddles.

Very very short scale.
This is the tiniest guitar I have made. (and possibly the ugliest)

I think the swinger looks cool so far! I'd bet Desert Tan would look sweet with that brown pearloid.
Are the frets brass?
