Guitars

Guitar building is definitely my most experimental hobby. Each of my guitar builds is its own Frankenstein’s monster of body styles that I want to try, neck styles that balance feel, quality and budget (and availability), and finishes and electric components that I am curious to try.

I select the wood, prepare and glue body blanks, design, program and run the CNC cutting, and assemble the necks, electronic components and hardware.

Semi-hollow
Telecaster - Painted

Inspired by Fender’s Thinline Telecaster, this was my first guitar build.

The body shape is slightly modified from the traditional telecaster shape, but has all the electronics and hardware you would expect from a genuine Fender.

Features:

  • Poplar Body

  • Hybrid pickguard

  • FLEOR Alnico 5 pickups

  • Roasted Maple neck

  • Musicily bridge and tuning machines

  • Kaish switch and pots

Les Paul Junior

Inspired by the iconic Les Paul Junior, this double cut guitar body is made from ultralight Spanish Cedar, with an Ibanez style neck, which is super comfortable to play and pairs nicely with the body shape. It has a great, classic sound and with the lightweight body is easy and fun to play.

Features:

  • Spanish Cedar Body

  • Rubio Monocoat Finish

  • Wilkinson WO90 Ceramic P90 Dogear Bridge Pickup

  • Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard

  • Tune-o-matic bridge

  • Musicily tuning machines

Hear how it sounds!

And forgive my playing ;)

Similar to the painted Thinline Telecaster above, but with a natural finish and no pickguard for a super clean, minimal look. It has a great, deep and twangy sound with the versatility of three pickup combinations.

  • Maple Body

  • Rubio Monocoat finish

  • Wilkinson pickups

  • Ibanez Style Neck

  • Musicily bridge and tuning machines
