GeorgeBoards Sacraficial Doner Stealth Almost Done

Rich Hlaves · From: Wildomar, California, USA

A few months ago I bought the Stealth sacraficial doner body from Mr. Boards. It came finished in black with tuners. He made me a great deal on a nut block, nut and fretboard. The stuff sat around as I have been too busy to toss it together until tonight.

The bridge and pickup are Rukavina parts I bought a couple of years ago but never got around to building a guitar with until now. I haven't wired it yet but did string it, tune it & play it acoustically. Sings pretty good for a solid body, should be real nice all plugged in.

I can say that Mr. Boards uses some very cool processes for locating his bridge, nut and maintaining exact scale length. This helped when locating the bridge and reduced assembly time. I still plotted a center line for placement and for the pickup routing. Pics don't do the paint job justice.

That's a beauty, Rich. Enjoying summer but almost looking forward to winter when I'll build my first lap steel. Would like to hear a sound sample if you get a chance.
