This has me inspired
I'm kinda having sellers remorse and thinking about building a clone. I'm thinking of building something like this.http://cgi.ebay.com/LOWEL-Mosrite-Guita ... 4aa2e51375

Uh-oh, what did you sell that you regret? As far as the build goes I say go for it. I would seriously love to learn how to build and have been debating learning or at least learning to do my own wiring and pickup swaps.

That's a cool body. Has kinda Gretsch Committee feel to it.

Yikes, looks like Aaron's feedback has dropped. Too bad, he made some really nice guitars and was super nice, I wonder what happened? I'm guessing life as a luthier wasn't quite paying the bills, it's really too bad. As for humbuckers in your next build I say go for it. I've been having lots of fun with the SM I got from Adam.

No big deal. Checking his feedback, he's only received one negative and it appears the reason was a dispute over shipping charges of $12 instead of the quoted $8.

Hi KRamone27, Isay go for it. Hard to tell what kind of wood they used on their build, kind of looks like walnut and maple. Sur would be a nice looking piece.

Hey, Kev ... I like that body. BTW, how did that speaker cab ever turn out? Did you ever get the speakers installed?
So many guitars; So little time ..

I'm awaiting funds to continue on with the cabinet. I would at least want to get speakers for it and hold off on the tolex and grill cloth.
