Gold-o-Caster

Badscrew, October 23, 2022July 30, 2023

Gold-o-Caster series

Nothing too complicated, this is what people call a “parts-caster” – an assembly of parts made by someone else. No real “lutherie” present here at all 🙂

The body first: got it from ebay. Good quality, double cream binding, and most importantly it’s sparkly GOLD.

The sizes are of a standard Fender Telecaster.

The neck, from ebay too, the “Harley Benton” locking tuners from Thomann (gold of course)

Cheap neck but very pretty wood:

I’ve got as much gold hardware as I could. When it’s gold – it’s GOLD 🙂

Screws, jack, neck and electronics plates, bridge, pickups, all of it!

Round guitar picks

March 20, 2023July 15, 2023

Made myself some round picks for no other reason than curiosity 🙂 To be fair, also because I wanted to find a cure against the picks that are rotating between my fingers. Starting from a normal “teardrop” shaped pick, removing extra material with big scissors, than refining the shape on…
