Everyday Electronics Delta Mark II

ICBM

Actually, with the pickups and bridge there, the pickguard shape is perfect .

All* finished today. Here it is with the all-important figure!

It sounds pretty good I think, I've used some mid-range P-90s from @Alegree.



I'll get some more pictures done when I have a moment.

*still have strap buttons to fit. One will go under the end of the top point and one on the body just ahead of the neckplate where there is room as the neck is set deeper than e.g. a Fender.

What is it like to play

I'd say it is a safe bet to say that this is the best example of a guitar built from the EE magazine plans.

It feels like a quality guitar, with a low, smooth action. The neck is on the chunkier side, but not as big as say an R8. I find it quite comfortable.

Standing up it balances really well on the strap, with no neck dive. Sitting down you need to put your right thigh in the V of course or it slides off.

Well I'd like to think so

I wonder how many were made by people back in the day?
