I closed my repair business in March so have had some time this year to do whatever I like.
(formerly customkits)
Another idea mulled over is a Mosbird: long-scale fanned fret bastard child result of a quickie behind the Dog & Sprocket of a Mosrite and Firebird, or maybe normal fret/longer scale. Doubtful though as would have to sell it and the appeal would be pretty small I guess.... probably just me I should think : )
I'd like to sell someone the idea of having this thin light chuckable guitar idea in my head built.
I've also wanted to do a 335-ish lam top and a fat classy carved jazzbox for ages, once in a while I look at vac bags or dream up ideas for presses and so on, but doubt those will come to pass anytime soon.
I have a number of Tele and Strat parts casters to put together so hopefully get a start on those during the Christmas shutdown.
I scored some super cheap wood for an acoustic guitar scratch build like 12 Euro's for Mahogany back rosewood sides and a cheap cedar top in one of the BF deal out here. Its pretty rough wood in terms of slightly warped, covered in saw marks but have never ever tried an acoustic guitar build I felt no point in wasting money of expensive wood as this is going to be messy at best.
I also have the Fano style guitar I got from Graham@gsp but been honing my spraying skills over the summer and want to do a good job in the Fano/Novo style of lightly stressed direct to the wood look. But keep changing my mind on the colour.
If that does not keep me occupied I have plenty of wood and stuff laying around.
(1) Re-build my 68 Custom Princeton Reverb. I’ve already restored the NFB to 60s spec and reduced the excessive bass in the tone stack, but now I’m looking to re-build the guts of the amp on eyelet board and incorporate some other improvements (e.g. Stokes mod). Arguably it makes little sense to trash the innards of a perfectly good amp that’s in working order, but hey, it’s mine and I can do what I like with it.
(2) Weber Maggie-type amp i.e. 5F1 circuit beefed up to run a 6L6. I already have the transformers and a selection of 12in speakers.
(3) Some take on the Ampeg B15 bass amp head. I have the layout for the Ceriatone Aunt Peg - see what they did there? One option would be to pick up a used HRD which should give me the right transformers. The cab could end up as part of build (2).
(4) Another pedal. Maybe a Klone with the dual pot split into one for gain and one for clean mix.
2. Finish the Tele/cabronita thing
3. finish the lap steel.

Making a very special T type with a unique finish when Jon at Rexter has finished cooking the body.
Do some fret edge filing on some of my cheaper guitars.
Replace the bridge pickup in my Epiphone SG with a spare Duncan JB. Put in a decent 3 way switch and put some loktight on the jack socket as it keeps coming loose.
Put shielding tape in my hendrix strat.
See if I can fix the freting issues on a tanglewood acoustic I found in a skip, (6th and 7th fret are the same notes)
build a neck for my first bitsa and put the neck from that back on my first electric guitar.
Don't want one I just want something to build and I find those are easier to move without making a loss
Given the builds you've done before, it should be excellent quality and whoever buys it is in for an awesome amp.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.
