Yes, woodworking, because this way nobody will be suspicious untill I actually start making gunstocks.
I sure miss shooting but I make up for it by doing guitar stuff. When I move to a bigger place or get an unshared appartment one of the first things I'll get is an airgun. |

Nice to hear from you! I think woodworking on musical instruments is even more demanding than gunstocks. |

I'm finding out more and more that less is more and the more you spend the more can go wrong.
I think I spend the most money on the neck (100 bucks, it was a mismatch but I can find nothing wrong with it, one piece maple!) in this particular project. The body is made of pine and hardboard. Spend about 10 bucks on that I think. |

Some progress:
I'll mount the bridge next week. I made the holes to big so I have to put on a different one. Not a biggy, I have a couple laying around.
The electronics on a 1 pickup guitar is easy, real beginners stuff. Just connect the dots, really. |

How many pick ups does a guitar usually have? How many does it need for really good sound? Masonite is awesome stuff. Machines nicely and strong as, well really strong.

Most guitars have 1 or 2 pickups. I have seen some with as many as 4. The waters of guitar tone debate are deep, indeed. There is absolutely no simple answer to "how many do you need". |

The old Danelectro's often came with one. The first electric guitars generally just had one. More then 3 is a bit overdoing it, though the difference in output on pickups may be a reason why you would do that.
Wiring it becomes a bit of a pain in the a$$ though, and I think it just doesn't look right to have more then three, and I prefer two, also because of the simplicity; I like it when a guitar has a clearly distinguishable sound from another one.
I might put a Piezo pickup in the one up there too, but I haven't decided yet. Couldn't finish it because I had been applying for art-school, which reminds me. I should tell the bros on the forum. |

Lets don't get into the sonic differences here, just wondering where you were headed with that...of course it needs a 3x9 scope to reach tonal Nirvana... |
