Let the guitar-building commence


Have:

18" x 18" x 2" slab of dry, white korina. 2-piece.

Ebony fingerboard scrap for bridge-building

One big piece of masonite for template-making

Leftover bits from a Squier bridge

One fully-functioning right-handed red Epiphone EB-0 bass. It will die.

White glue and Gorilla glue

Plenty of screws and nails

Router

Jig-Saw

Drill

Clamps

Sandpaper

Motivation

Pencils

and a whole lot more...


Pics will be coming as soon as tomorrow morning. Follow me while I build myself a lefty SG bass. Final specs should be:

30.5" scale

White Korina body with matching headstock.

Bolt-on mahogany neck with rosewood board. Painted red. Custom glow-in-the-dark side-markers. Original Epiphone tuners.

2x Seymour Duncan Phase II soapbars

Vol-Vol-Tone pots with one series/parallel switch

Handcrafted ebony bridge with brass saddles (from Fender-style bass bridge)

String-through

Tuned DGCF (or lower) with bottom 4 strings of a five-string set.


Wish me luck y'all!
