C18Q1. TTony goes mad.

What's Hot
Seeing as @Roland managed to completely wreck my original plan (see thread here) to build a guitar that I really didn't need, I've been trying to decide on what plan B should be.  Apart from being B, obviously.

My thinking, relatively uninfluenced by alcohol at this stage of the evening, could be represented by this ...



:D

More in the morning if I'm still feeling this mad.  

Meantime, guesses are welcome ...

    OK, the morning dawns, and after a sanity check, I've decided to go for it.

    @Bridgehouse was actually closer than he realised, in that all of his guesses were - individually - correct.  Although not in total.

    Dusty Bin was a reference back to 3-2-1.

    Firstly,
    a   3 pickup   Strat-ish thing;



    I've had a set of @TheGuitarWeasel ; 5th Anniversary p'ups tucked away for a little while.  And now's time to use them.

    Korina body, Walnut top (to which I'll apply the @WezV wet sanding technique).  Expect no scratchplate, and no 5-way neither.  And just look at that neck.  Thanks to @GSPBasses (the neck has been tucked away for a while too).

    I've not actually got a Strat in my collection, so this one will fill a gap.



    Secondly, 
    a 2 pickup DC-ish thing



    Some more Korina, with a 3-part Mahogany neck (guess who made it) with a rather nice fretboard.  I think I'll leave it that simple, with no cap and a simple stain finish (colour tbd).  P'ups are a set of Hot Rod P90s, which I've also had "tucked away" for a while.

    Should turn out to be a simple, raw, rocky beast.

    I do have a few similar guitars, but surely you can't have too many twin P90 DCs?



    Thirdly. 
    A 1 pickup monster to complete my set (see a following post).



    That's an Ash body, and - yes - it's a Rosewood neck under the R/w fingerboard  :D 

    Pickup is a bridge position US Gibson Nighthawk.  I've got an original 90's US Nighthawk, and the main reason that I've still got  it is that pickup  unit.


    That's the 3-2-1.
    :)

    You've obviously got too much spare time. Any chance you could send me some of it?

    #1


    and #2


    The p'up in #2 is now a P90, so the 3-2-1 build will complete the set of single P-Up guitars, seeing as I've got single coil, P90, and the 3-2-1 build will use a HB.


    [edit]
    Those first 2 are both Ash bodies too.  I like to keep things neat and well ordered.

    Taking a work break @m_c - my only challenge will be getting to spend the time in the workshop rather than on the house or garden!

    Got to work out which ones need scratchplates now ...
    ;)
