I’ve started making a couple of guitars for the UKAGB Guitar build off which is a Facebook groups version of the Great Guitar Build Off Here’s the ‘Rotta T’ which is a an Offset Tele-ish shape it’s got a Poplar pallet top and it going to have Sapele back and neck with an Oak fretboard…. This is the ‘Daga’ which is a kind of ‘Rick crossed with a Corvette crossed with a Tele crossed with a Strat which is completely made from a pallet with a Sapele neck and Oak fretboard

Thanks all for the advice, will try some new strings and see how it fairs! Noticed a few cracks in the body now so not in good shape

Douglas bought a pedal from me - friendly communication and an easy sale. Thanks @Soledad

I like that, it has real charm. Given the tailpiece and the tuners it looks intended to be steel strung to me. Guessing vintage 50s or early 60s maybe? I agree start with 10s (extra-light gauge on an acoustic) so the neck isn't shocked. Could make a nice rural blues guitar, and quite bendy with a set of 10s on.

Here’s a few more of my recent builds….. The Firecaster style on the right has my first ever scratch built neck on it Sapele with Oak fretboard with Sapele dots………
