Doing Things Wrong

Body - Radiata

Radiata is a relatively hard and strong pine that is eminently suited for guitar bodies and even necks. Expect to see a lot more use of it in the future.


This one was a testbed for the Radiata glue-up body construction. I had lots of Strat hardware lying around from all the bass projects, so I decided to use some of it. As usual for my guitars, this has a fixed steel truss rod. This is the last of my Audiovoxes, and probably my favorite.


Sort of like a Kubicki, but not really.


I was so pleased with the bass that I thought I'd try a guitar. This is a little more complicated, as there are six tuners rather than four, but it worked out well. The battery is for an Artec tone control that I wanted to try. More later ...


Phenolic - good for fixtures, templates, nuts, saddles, maybe even fretboards?
