"MJ-s-music-world": Christmas guitars

"And so it is Christmas"

Just wonder what copyright holders had to say about that song by John Lennon, as its easy to recognise the melody from the song "Stewball". shit happens and it might be that Lennon knew all about his grand theft and actually bought the rights to use this melody.

A bit of "Christmas without You" suits better this Christmas as my love was in Stockholm with her daughters and I was in a way stuck at the island of Orust and our summerhouse. So instead of baking christmas cake´s and other forms of cocking I contintued with me two DIY guitar project´s.

As I´m no kind of Luthier Pro, I´m forced to test my DIY guitars every other minute or so in hope the the design and contruction will work out properly. Leading to a load of extra work to be done. Well the bass is partly ready for the finishing touch, but with the guitar there was much more problems.

Cutting out the inside with a jigsaw meant a lot of work, until I finally was satisfied with the result. Then putting all the parts together and testing it with out any kind of elctronics involv´d.

Next step was this particular part of the build. Three singecoil DiMarzio pickups was used to start f with, but my intention has all the time been to use not 2 or 3 but 5 pickup system. all in hope to obtain a bit of useful Burns sound in the guitar. Those pickups do need an amplifier that also is going to be installed. It´ll give both passive and an active system in the guitar. With the possibility to choose a lot of different pickup settings.

2 volume controls and 2 tone controls was fitted together with one 4 way selector and one 5 was selector, all ending up in a Master volume control. At this very moment I wait for delivery of the remaining 2 pickups.

In hope to obtain a little Christmas spirit I went out and found me a Christmas tree, and as it doesnt have much more then its light-candles and a few red balls as decoration I used a couple of me guitars to lighten up Christmas.
