A bit of guitar time today--but nothing worthwhile to post so I thought I put this up from a while ago. I appreciate this song which musicians can relate to. I don't think this song gets the respect it deserves. Rhinestone Cowboy.

Today- enlarge the toggle switch holes in the two pickguards to be able to insert the switches & finished copper taping the body switch inlays and wiring inlays Next try to figure out running the wiring through the rest of the body and see if i positioned everything correctly? 🙄

My wife ordered this Epiphone Firebird for me for my birthday.... I don't deserve her for sure....😁

Some time in the studio..practiced for just me 😃 and I installed one of the black replacement bridges I got for the dbl neck kit, while awaiting electric parts. I did the 12 string bridge. I'm worried about alignment with it Worried about everything with this kit I guess---😃

Off to do a guitar lesson but 😃 Firebird arrived this AM Zero shipping damage and I am beside my on first examination letting it acclimatize in the box for a day or so then a full check and try out. The color doesn't stand out in this pic but it's gorgeous. Better pics soon😃👍

5 minutes today to try out my new Epiphone Firebird. Finish perfect-action excellent-mini-humbuckers super powerful-tuners work great a few fret ends need smoothing no worries Bad-Volume pots-are pretty much all up or nothing not much adjustment at all. Overall-love it big😃

Well, my first throw out for the Gib-sunday thing?

Got some practice in today and put together the stand I got for the Firebird and it works...😃 I do need some input--I am considering changing the control knobs to chicken head knobs to be sort of more 50's styling? What do you think about that ?

Some success !!!😃 I found a single dislodged wire in the connectors. I now have three pickups working so big improvement. I'll track down several other problems but I needed a break after 3 plus hours of work on it but--- My brain feels sooo much better with some success....😃

I was 14 I got a 3 night gig with a big swing band They fired me after 3 nights 🤣 But I got to gig at a big money country club in N. Jersey with them. We did this song it came to mind while reading a pre-history of rock and roll. You belong to me I probably won't leave this up

5 plus hours of giving guitar lessons today.... sort of spaced out tonight....🤪

Some progress today I enlarged the inlay hole for the third toggle switch and mounted it and installed the 2nd pickguard. Discovered however that the inlay holes for the replacement black bridge for the 6 string neck are way too too big. This kit is always a thrill...🙄

Worked a bit on the double neck today and worked on the slide intro to Running On Faith for a student. Tomorrow I am just going to play the guitar for me.... 😃😃😃😃😃😃

A student asked to learn the intro to Here Comes the Sun so in prep for his lesson tomorrow I made a video to send to him afterward for reference. Thought i'd post it..Harrison did it capo'd on the 7th fret..5th is the best I can do and I flat pick it.. sort of used to that😃

For Tele Tuesday---a good sounding, good playing, copy by Huntington I have had for a while...

Long as I can see your light------

Some success today-I got 3 pickups working-the 12 string bridge pickup doesn't work but I'd never use it so I considered myself lucky and sealed everything up. Next- 1 or 2 minor things, string it, adjust p/u's bridges etc. and test it.

I read a review of this in Guitar World magazine and couldn't resist ordering it right away... excellent reviews all around...

A few medical problems this week so no studio time/practice/guitar building time so, here's a photo of my Johnson, (yeah insert wise crack here....🤣🤣🤣) square neck dobro I modified with a pickup...

hobbled to the studio-first time in days and strung the 6 side of the double neck project and adjusted the bridge. Didn't tune it-letting it sit for a bit. Tested it and it makes noise so...kinda pleased...😆
