I've been diggin' the looks of the Airline Bighorn for a while and decided to make one on a budget. I got in contact with Mr. Clevername at reranch who was kind enough to make a tracing of an original bighorn body and he also sent me a pickguard he cut and wasn't going to use. That gave me everythi...

I'll keep an eye out too.

Looks like a Danelectro bridge might work if you can't find an original. I have a couple danos if you need measurements of the 3 mounting screws.

Looks excellent. Glad you like the way the pickups sound. Perfect for garage fuzz stuff.

So I drilled the holes, installed the bits.... No wiring yet, because I just realised that I still need to try and sort the grounding out. The bridge sits on a metal plate that is secured with two regular scratchplate screws, so there's no hardware that really goes into the body, so I suspect I'll ...

Teardrop looks great. Glad to see you're on the home stretch. I can usually find the diagram I need here.

I've got a pdf of a body and pickguard template that I made from scaling up a photo and tracing it.
PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. If you don't have access to a large printer I can print one off and mail it to you.

Really nice score.
I'd probably go with a black refinish myself but shell pink would be cool.

Kinda digging the body shape but not the Home Depot cull bin wood they used to make it.

FAO Cooter: shot of the ferrules below. The two at the top are the bass strings, they're far deeper. I also took the back panel back off to see what value the pots were, but they're well gooped-over with solder. Thanks! And thanks for taking a look at the pots as well. Guitarfetish had a dano bass ...

Hey Cooter! I'll take a pic for you in daylight soon, but: yes, it's string through, with tele-style (sort of) ferrules on the back. However, one weird detail (which I love, and until I typed this assumed was deliberate, but now I'm thinking may just have been an "oh shit" grab for the pa...

I love it. Are the Jerry Jones string through? Got a shot of the back? You've made one a couple of years ago IIRC, Cooter? Well, sort of, I sold it before it was completely finished. Seems like the building is where I get my ya ya's out. I'd never really thoroughly checked out the Jerry Jones stuff...

Nice!

Thanks. I guess throwing $100 at a $150 guitar might not make sense to some but I think it was well worth it. I love this thing.
It sounds great, looks great and plays great. Plus it's super light and I don't have to worry if it gets tossed around.

I bought one of the bullet mustangs awhile back with a few mods in mind. The neck had some nice flame so I stripped it down, tinted and tru oiled it. I posted a couple pics before but I never followed up with the finished product. I also added some vintage style tuners and a custom Squier decal. Dri...

I had one of those once and that was the first thing that came to my mind.

Thank you jcyphe! It's actually not that bad looking if you lose the strat trem.

I bought this neck from Guitarfetish because the headstock was so ugly I had to have it. It's from their Factory Closeout section and I was wondering if anyone
recognized what brand it is. I'm really curious as to what the body that goes with it looks like.
