Yamaha in need 🎸
My nephew brought a Yamaha RBX170EW over and asked if I could get it to playing condition. My sister was over the previous night and told me about it and I knew it was going to be a full restoration project when she told me who gave it to him. She only mentioned that it had no strings but failed to tell me about the rust. But he really seemed like he wanted to play bass, he has played a viola for about 6 years now though middle and high school. So I think he’s ready and at least the body and neck are good.

It definitely looks repairable and it looks like it’s just the stuff I typically enjoy tinkering on. You can learn a lot from these projects. I’ve done a couple of cheap parts caster builds and used GFS: https://www.guitarfetish.com/ for really affordable parts. My favorite one is in the pic below, I even got lucky and found a set of David Gilmour EMGS on facebook for $40 later and swapped them out but I even liked the GFS pickups pretty well. It’s fun to get creative with these builds and my friends always think this is a MIM fender and not a squire lol.

@Robbie Macdonald it’s a decal lol. It’s cheesier in person. The plan was (and may eventually be again) to get a nice aftermarket blank and fretboard and then have someone I know inlay that with something like gunmetal. Then I was going to learn to do my own fretwork. The problem was, not only was I not remotely ready to learn fretwork, but also turns out even to an expert trying to do an intricate “barbed wire” inlay is a lot more difficult than I had anticipated and not a job many want to do lol.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
The phrase that got the most love in Round 1 was: “I said I played guitar, I didn’t say I played well.” So… we went ahead and had a design made for it 👀🔥 Before we move forward with production, I want REAL feedback from the community: ✅ Is this something you would actually buy and wear proudly? ✅ What do you think of the overall design? ✅ Should we change the font style or colors? ✅ What do you think about the guitar choice? For the guitar, we went with a Stevie Ray Vaughan / Hendrix-style Fender Strat vibe 🎸 Don’t hold back either...honest feedback helps us make these designs WAY better before launch 🙌

@Donovan Wedding agreed, two strats seem a little redundant. I would be cool to do Jimi’s strat and either “Greenie” or maybe even Jimmy Page’s “Number One” so you’d have two Jimmy’s on there. Also I’d flip them so they seen oriented the way you play them, since Jimi was left handed it seems un necessary to have either one upside down.

Very similar to an SE silver sky but with humbuckers, the silver sky’s are killer. I had a PRS se for a while and loved that guitar. I missed to so much I ended up getting a core custom 24 later on when I had more money but everything they make, even the SE line, is great and always plays like a dream.

New song
Tried my hand at a country rock song. Used the premise of life on the road and sacrifice and was it worth it. Let me know what you all think.
