Hub Cap Guitar


Finally finished, and strung it up.  What a unique guitar!  Check out my Facebook page and ETSY site for Barefoot Boogie Guitars for more info.

Hub Cap Guitar

Still working on my Hub Cap Guitar. I got the controls and pickups positioned and set. I also got the nut shaped and installed, as well as the bridge. Using my Godin Hybrid guitar on the right as a guide to set the string distance at the nut, and the heights of the nut and bridge. Next weekend, I'll probably get the electronics wired up ... my least favorite part. But then I should be about ready to do the final assembly and give it a test drive!

Hub Cap Guitar



Making some good progress on my 6 String Hub Cap Guitar.  I've got the neck shaped and sanded.  Just finished oiling the fretboard and installing the frets.  I got the Piezo Pickup installed in the bridge, and the cutout's all in place for the lipstick magnetic pickup in the neck position.  Hopefully will be able to string it up in 3-4 weeks!
