Semi hollow body electric guitar and bass.

Yes, it's true, not all guitars are acoustics; some have single coils and some have buckers, and all of those have some serious electrons. Build 'em, work on 'em, mods, questions, Put 'em here!

Thanks Dennis,
I don't know if you noticed or not..but there is no access hole in the back of the bass... Tim the future owner of this bass didn't want one...I made the F holes larger so he can feed the pots in from them with strings ... pictures to follow as he does it....got my curiosity up....

Wow!
I hope it doesn't pop much more than that or you won't be able to contain it.....

Joe...I live to make figured wood scream...but it doesn't happen all the time..think I might have got lucky on this one.

Finally got to carve the neck...and fit the neck to the body... parts are showing up daily...she should be done in a few weeks.
