C30 Dump Truck Upgrade
In this short episode, we get a new back up light installed so I can see where I'm going at night. An orange lit switch, so I can tell when the bright light is on. A rip in the steel tailgate gets patched and the last of the orange paint gets sprayed on.

Hammer Form A Steel Guitar Pt.8
Переглядів 8614 днів тому
We're back on the 16 Gauge steel guitar and she's finally in paint! It's been a long time coming on this one. She needed a little filler, some primer and sanding. Then the midnight blue got sprayed. I enjoy building the worn look, so this one got beat up a bit and some raw steel was exposed. We also get a look at the Righteous Sound pickups with matching blue in the design. As well as the contr...

We're taking a departure from building guitars to get some work done on my 1986 Chevy C30 dump truck. The dash has been torn apart for a month and I'm over it. Time to reassemble it. Plus, we go through the story of how I got it and what's been done to it. I wired the new fuel gauge wrong while filming, but figured it out afterward. Oh well. Music by UA-cam.

In this episode we get two Leslie guitars assembled and ready for wiring. Same body design, but completely different styles to choose from. One is fender scale, the other is Gibson. One is 2 inches thick, the other is 1 5/8's. Single pickup or Two? Fancy or worn? Personally, the white mahogany Leslie VI is calling my name! Thanks for watching. Tune in next time.

Eddie Vedder Tele Build Pt.3

From rough cut to fully routed. The arm carve gets shaped and we decided to hand carve the tape lines into the body. I always knew, after years of wanting to build this guitar, that I wouldn't have the guts to put tape on it. She's in the primer/sanding stage now. What a unique tele! Music provided by UA-cam.
