Post by Bill Dobkins »

This the first of a line of guitars I have started building. I will have Three colors with binding. Natural,Cherry and regular. other colors are available without binding. Necks are available in simular Tele headstock or my design as shown in the photo. Pups are hand wound locally and are hot. These guitars are american made be me personally. The price will range from between 600.00 to a 800.00 depending on style. Personal emails are welcome but no discounts as per Forum rules. b0b gets his cut if sold on the Forum.
Thanks for looking.

Cool headstock design. And I love the pick guard.

What kind of wood are you using. The cap looks like maple. What's behind it? Do you have pics of the other colors?

Thanks for looking Mike. The body on this one is Poplar/ with Maple top. I can get about any color a person wants. But having trouble getting some colors as they are back ordered. I am impressed with the quality of the bodies and necks and the way they fit.
