bubs_42 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Tight Ass... Huh, I don't think anyone that knows you would have have used that to describe you. LOL Having your girlfriends name engraved in this one? Nope, I really don't have anything better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamerhead Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 No, I got most of that stuff. Maybe some of Josh's pickups, though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl.B Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 You could try these guy's Precision Guitars Kit's, A 2-3 piece Alder body setup for GOTOH Hardtail for $140. https://precisionguitarkits.com/product/sstyle-custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This guy makes decent stuff and offers pre-drilled options for vintage hardtail or a Hipshot fixed bridge at no extra cost: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Guitar-Body-Unfinished-Ash-USA-Made-S-Style-Made-to-Order/392541779762?hash=item5b65503732:g:9NAAAOSw~B1aRS5U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stuff is well-made, but he has...well...somewhat of a narrow lens on how to operate his business. Body woods? It's either poplar or ash or...nothing. Also, I offered to drive to his shop to pick up a body (I live only 30 minutes from him) and he politely but firmly refused, saying he simply couldn't accommodate an in-person pick-up...and this was pre-COVID. That said, you get exactly what you ask for (within his options parameters) and it's done exceptionally well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
