lou24d53 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I've just finished my first self-build, and I'm thinking I'd like to maybe try again, but being a bit more adventurous in design. I can't seem to locate an explorer body that won't cost a fair bob though, Guitarbuild, Northwest etc., just P's and J's really...any ideas?

Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) An old Westone Raider body? Fill in the pick-up routing, sand it back, and off you go. Not an exact Explorer shape, but quite close. Edited September 28, 2019 by Lfalex v1.1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefly, I'm only just starting out with the inception of it, but I've seen nothing so far. I play in a Who covers band, hence this design.

AngelDeVille Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 A Jackson Kelly body would be a nice starting place as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou24d53 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) How'd I miss that...? 🙈 Thanks. I might contact them and see if they have them, or can make, with other pup configurations. Edited September 29, 2019 by lou24d53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
