A new Partscaster for my neighbor
My next door neighbor has a very special 19 yr old son. He is an encyclopedia of musical knowledge (bands and songs) and has recently started taking guitar lessons.
My SO suggested I should build him a guitar. I had a few parts left over from previous builds including a neck, pickups and some hardware. I ordered a new finished body and some other parts and put it all together. We gave it to him yesterday and he was just thrilled. Last edited by Bluside; 03-13-2024 at 04:44 AM. |

Great story! I enjoyed the build pics.
Makes me wish I had a neighbor like you when I was a kid!
