Grateful Dead Music Forum

Hey everybody,

my band just played our second show, which was my grad party. it'd be cool if some of you would watch the videos and leave feedback. i'm the guitarist on the left in a white shirt, playing the guitar i built. thanks

Good Stuff!! I'm gonna watch a few other clips.

Good on you! But...uh...no dead tunes?

thanks guys, i appreciate it. yeah i know theres no dead, we always plan on playing some but never put it all together. drummer and bassist arent heads really so we dont push it on them. its on the to-do list tho

Nice Job!. Tell us more about the guitar you built.

thanks again. i built the guitar with my dad during my sophomore and junior years in high school.

quick specs:
-black walnut body from my own backyard, carved and routed by us (original design)
-mighty mite neck, rosewood board, maple (bought a neck because im not experienced enough to do frets, trussrod, and shaping that goes into a neck)
-seymour duncan mini humbuckers
-gotoh tuners
-hipshot bridge
-22 frets
-walnut knobs haha i dont know what else to say

it plays exactly as i want it to and sounds exactly as i want it to so i am happy.
2nd project coming up this summer
