Havn't been active on this forum for a couple of years. Mostly because I havn't really built any pedals but focused on family. However I have built myself a SG-style guitar from kit. After that succesul project I ordered custom part and assembled a Jazzmaster that became my number one guitar. Last three years I've been obsessed with the idea of building a Gibson Firebird clone and this year I finally started the project. From januari through july I more or less spent all hours in my garage after the kids went to bed. Here are some pictures of the process.

Wow, that's bad-ass! I'd be interested to see pics of the SG and JM too if you have any

man a firebird has been on the build list for me, but a neck through is too intimidating to me. thanks for the nice pics!

Excellent work, I was particularly impressed with the binding and fretboard inlays.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Consider me completely blown away.  Even the oxidized Pelham Blue finish.  Really top shelf craftsmanship here.

If my photos are missing again... they're hosted by photobucket... and as of 06/2017 being held hostage... to be continued?

I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.
