Electric Guitar Old
Electric Guitar Old
I'm making a guitar out of old electric guitar parts, and I need tips?
Right now what I have...
An old Lotus Strat, which I need to sand all of the paint off the body untill it is just wood, I am about 2 percent there. I have the neck, all of the original electronics, and the pickguards, and it is completely dismantled.
What I want to acheive...
1. Is to take ALL of the paint off of the body, so it is just a wood body.
2. To take the logo off of the headstock somehow, (the guitar neck is just wood).
3. To update the electronics (All the wires, the pickups, the input jack, everything) to achieve a good quality sound, for a really good clean almost jazzy sound.
4. ( Not required ) To give the guitar body some color, by staining the wood. ( I was thinking of staining the wood a blood red with black swirls )
My question is...
How do I go about doing all of this, getting the best quality I possibly can, and spending the least amount of money possible? Also, what is time frame frame I am looking at here? Any input is appreciated!
What you want to do is possible, It will be a "labor of love" Depending on how it goes it could take from a month or so to over a year, depending on how much time you put into it and if you could get all the parts you need

What should I play on my electric guitar to impress 8 year old kids?
I'm playing at a little workshop at a school today and I'll be playing in front of 8/9 year old kids. But I don't want to bore em out so does anyone have any ideas for what sorta stuff I should play? Also, its a 10 minute session.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, would be a nice idea. YOU ARE IN A BIG PILE OF TROUBLE! How did you get yourself into this? Just talk to them about the boring guitar parts, say some things about music theory and then play the song. It will get them sleeping in no time! And then their teachers will be thankful to you, forever!
