Title: Firebird project
Post by: Sigesmundninja on September 18, 2019, 11:50:08 AM
Havn't been active on this forum for a couple of years. Mostly because I havn't really built any pedals but focused on family. However I have built myself a SG-style guitar from kit. After that succesul project I ordered custom part and assembled a Jazzmaster that became my number one guitar. Last three years I've been obsessed with the idea of building a Gibson Firebird clone and this year I finally started the project. From januari through july I more or less spent all hours in my garage after the kids went to bed. Here are some pictures of the process.

Wow, that's bad-ass! I'd be interested to see pics of the SG and JM too if you have any

Excellent work, I was particularly impressed with the binding and fretboard inlays.

Consider me completely blown away.  Even the oxidized Pelham Blue finish.  Really top shelf craftsmanship here.
