Brian Eastwood strat
Stratocaster, supposedly built by Brian Eastwood. (not the far-east company Eastwood but the British luthier of weird handbuilt guitars Brian Eastwood) The graphics are inspired by those on a car in a movie. ('The Fast and the Furious') I guess it is the lightest guitar I own. The guitar is slightly reliced, and not all that well made, but plays like butter in spite of its chunky neck. It was built as a prop in a videoclip, my wish is to make it a fully functional professional guitar. The pickup is made by Wilkinson but it does not sound too good, so I will swap it, and probably add a coilswitch to obtain more tonal variety. The body still needs to be clearcoated.
When I got the guitar, the pickup was not even connected. Since the body has no shielding at all (although the strings are grounded) it produces a buzz like a swarm of bees when connected to an amplifier. Obviously I will give it a proper shielding. I still have some copper foil left from other projects.

Happy Couple
Ibanez USA Custom gitaar en bas.. met een soort luipaardvel. Eigenlijk is de gitaar een RG760 uit Japanse onderdelen met DiMarzio's, die in de Custom Shop in Los Angeles in elkaar is gezet voor een klant. De bas is passief, en klinkt goed. Ik heb geen idee welke elementen er in zitten.
