You’ve got this one it’s routed for a guitar neck but hasn’t got any bridge holes so you should be able to get the right scale length………👍🏻

Well you can’t go wrong with a classic colour combo!!

Cheers mate I thought I’d try and do a different spin on an acoustic guitar 👍🏻

And I’ve also been making some 6 string Punkcoustics……👍🏻

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!! I decided to change the body on the Thunderbird Punkcoustic as it was diving really badly so this what what I came up with instead its a bit of a nod to Dee Dee Ramone ….…👍🏻

Finished both of mine!! Now time to start on the other 2…….👍🏻

I’ve started to play in a acoustic punk covers band so I built myself an acoustic bass and anyone who has seen any of my personal bass builds know I have a bit of an addiction to the corvette shape so I thought why not blend the two here’s what I come up with so far……… Then I thought I’ll make a back up bass so I decided to make it my second favourite bass shape a Thunderbird, here’s just a quick mock-up….…. Then the two guitarist decided they wanted an acoustic each so I’ve cut the tops for them so far they wanted a kind of ES335/Starcaster type shape…….

Thanks for the advice I think I’ll just make the body thicker and just use a spare Fishman preamp I’ve already got 👍🏻

Hi I’m thinking of making a slimline corvette inspired acoustic bass I’m going to make it about 40mm thick so I can’t fit a preamp to it, I know it won’t be very loud acoustically but I’ll only ever play it through a PA I’m thinking of fitting a ceramic transducer pickup under the saddle (Artec or similar) can I wire it up passive or do they need to be active? Also I know with disc piezo pickups if you solder a 0.1pF cap on the jack socket it takes some of the shrill tones away is that the same for a Ceramic one aswell? Any advice gratefully received 👍🏻

Here’s my latest build…….👍🏻

As most of you know I’m partial to a Corvette bass so I’ve decided to try and make a solid body (corvette inspired) acoustic bass don’t quite know how it’s going to come out but I’m going to try it anyway……..👍🏻🤘🏻

No I bought the necks 👍🏻

You know me too well Andy of course there’s was a next one I made a short scale Acoustasonic style Bass that I use for my Acoustic Punk tribute band In the pipeline is a 30inch 2 string Cigar box Bass

More random guitar builds….👍🏻🤘🏻
