FURTHER EDITED TO ADD:



Parts/Project 'Explorer' (please read carefully)

This is a self-build guitar I did years ago in one of the forum self-build challenges. 
It is an Explorer shape but 15/16ths size in overall dimensions, and also slightly thinner than a regular Explorer (I mention the thickness so as to be clear you can't add a term (should you want to) as the block would be too deep :-) )

It's mahogany (I think) with a spalted maple top. I bought the body blank unfinished - I stabilised the salt using the (apparently standard) method of rubbing in a large pot of thin cyanoacrylate (superglue) and letting it sink in, then sanding back a smidge. 

I then finished the whole think using the 2-part clear finish they use for pub bar tops. Th finish is, ahem, imperfect, and has over the years begun to flake in some areas. To be clear, I expect you'd want to refinish or touch up yourself obviously. 

The bridge is a hipshot (I think, from memory).

The neck was from a 'Jaxville' cheapo guitar. I used a rattle can to spray the headstock black. Again over the years, this has... let's say reliced!

I had a DiMarzio Super Distortion in it and it sounded EPIC. The guitar is really light, really resonant, and when I used it at the IGF summer school jam sessions (I ran the jam stage there for a few years) people always uassumed (from a few feet away) it was some booteek thing because it sounded huge. 

What's it worth to someone for a project? £50? 

Located in Swindon. Will unscrew and post at cost if necessary.
