| Obviously, A bigger chunk of wood might be in order |
In fact the only one that is niggling a wee bit is The Hartlepool One, which in some ways had overlapped Pearl, being made of wood and Teardrop of shape.
So thinking about it, I still want to have a go at a Semi-acoustic/Danelectro type of thing, but I think I'm going to instead make something that is more of a Rickenbacker 620 instead. Which of course is another guitar I've always wanted but never had the money/being able to justify such riches, so this is as close as I am going to get I expect.
So by way of an update/re-engineering/volte-mush, The Hartlepool One will now be:
1. A Semi-acoustic 620 shape
2. Strat neck with big headstock
3. Finished in Copper - maybe leaf, haven't done any leafing for a while.
4. I might as well make a Ricko-like 'plate out of a Byrds record while I'm at it.
5. I guess the obvious pickup(s) be Mr Mojo Toaster-tops, but I'll have a think about that as I fancy trying a pair of his Filter-trons or even a full sized Wide Range jobby. Dunno yet, but I'm not trying to make a Ricky as such, so it is nice to mix things up a wee tad.
6. And that is about that.
I think I will be going for a solid centre block for the neck and pickups to be joined to, which makes for a sturdier tub in many ways, though I am really tempted to have the top split into two with one half being hinged, but maybe that is asking for trouble. Though it would be a handy place to keep me sarnies, so who knows. Of course if I got it right I could make it so you can swap different body shapes on to it, but I might be wandering in the vale of De Quincey-type folk at this point.
La la laaa
