1965 Kent Lido, hot rod guitar test run after rebuilding the neck. I’m pretty happy with it.

Burning time. My Kent Lido had a wrecked neck with a broken truss rod. I stabilized and plugged the truss rod so this neck is now Steel Reinforced. I also burned in the removed label info after the neck was refinished. https://t.co/4FEuNW4Yt0

Can’t beat seeing fatknucklefreddy grinding down on the fretless pie pan Certified Junk Guitar. I’m so glad that it found such a good home. Thanks Freddy for showing what this thing can do. #guitarbuilder #luthier… https://t.co/xUtgDKEyXU

Teisco EP-10T on the bench: need some cleaning, drop fills and polishing after living in an attic for a few decades but this will be a hell of splayed when it’s done.

Found this excellent condition early 70s Harmony Stella on my last vintage hunting trip. It’s getting a DeArmond soundhole pickup and a Fishman endpin jack. Then it’s goin on Reverb because I can’t keep em all… https://t.co/QHOTuLS36G

[Brent Briggs @brentbriggs]

Teisco Silvertone 1435 polished up pretty nice. Another old workhorse brought back to life.

On the bench, a 1965 Teisco made Silvertone 1435. This one has been in the back log for awhile and I’ll be glad to get it running.

victorypickupco Lowriders in action on the H952. Starts out on the bridge for cleaner acoustic sounding tones and then rolls to the neck PUP for the dirt. The Blackheart Killer Ant makes it sound good played sloppy.… https://t.co/qQv2QCDVmI

The next Harmony project is going to have these fralinpickupsofficial P90s wired up like a late 50s Gibson ES-300. It will also have a @bigsby B6. Time to get to work.

A couple of small custom speaker cabs ready for sanding and finishing. A 1x8” for my Black Heart Little Giant and a 2x4” for my Black Heart Killer Ant.
Time to put them to use soon.

Finished. This 1957 Harmony H952 is ready to go with its victorypickupco Lowrider Red Foils in a Harmony Hollywood configuration. That is a blend pot with volume and tone.
