He also repurposed a broken Rickenbacker Bakelite neck I had kicking around. Mated with an ash body it sounds very Fender meets Rickenbacker. Also a Sentell pickup. I’d like to keep this one but the eight pretty much drained the instrument account!

New guitar day
A couple of rather gorgeous new guitars a friend of mine just finished. I’m keeping the eight string, the six will be up for grabs soon. Lollar and Sentell pickups. Basically a mahogany sandwich on bubble maple. They sound really great, hard to put down. I’m keeping the eight but I think the six may sound just a little better, odd as it’s a shorter scale (22 1/2”)..
