Blue Corn TacosNov 12, 2023

I challenge myself with at least one new technique or skill (or both) on each consecutive guitar I build. I did several new things on this build, but my “one more step” this time was learning to make the pickups too. I designed these and it turns out they sound and look great. Since the guitar is called NM Desert Rat (aka The Rat King) these needed to represent NM as well. I’ve decided to see if I can sell a few sets at the upcoming luthier show so I present the inaugural set of NM Red P90 pickups 🌶️

The #guitar build is complete and I've uploaded the last of my photos to the Great Guitar Build Off folks. That means the bench is open for whatever comes. I wish I could post more than 4 photos at a time. #guitarmaker #ggbo23

#guitar update. The nut that's installed is just temporary. I had a black Tusq one but I completely lost it. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ Nut aside, this build is done.

#guitar content! These strings will come off to do the level and dress, after the neck spends a little time under tension. It plays, intonates and makes me happy. Hitting the final stretch. #luthiery #guitarmaker

Finally some updates! All the body routing is done. I still need to wind the pickups but they should look pretty sweet next to the Bubinga beauty rings I made for them. I'll be filling them with bling. Also threw in a shot of the rear cover. It's since been level sanded so it doesn't look as nice 😂 #guitar #luthery #ggbo23

Guitar update. Neck is glued, body is chambered, sound "hole" cut with a side of headstock emblem. There is more wood removed from the upper section, I just don't have a pic. #luthiery #guitar #guitars #guitarmaking #ggbo2023

Had my first commission, this set of Jazzmaster pickups. Alinco 5 magnets, vintage style bobbins, slightly higher output that originals. Customer can't wait to get them, I can't wait to hear them. #guitarmaking #handwoundpickups #luthery #jazzmaster
