In the interest of saving space to keep the site free, I have decided all future builds will be documented here in short-form, with a list of specs, serial#, potentially some hints where it went to (or is going to), and whatnot. Most of the previous builds were made at a time when I was trying to finish up some stuff. If you wonder why I'm building so much, go read the link I just posted. That should fill you in on most of the details of my shadetree luthery. I never intended to be building as much, or as many, as I wound up doing, but ya' know, these things tend to...uh....explode a little after I'm doing them.

Classic HH #1 - SN#ST11012024-R - (8/28/2024)
| Cedar 3 piece body, roasted flame maple neck, Indian Laurel Fretboard, 22 jumbo frets, Kaish Gold Tuners, bolt on neck, bar string guide, Custom "Coffee Stripe" Paintjob, 2x "Gold Brick" Guitar Madness High Output Humbuckers, 1 volume, 3-way Switch, Ganged Tri-Mode Coil Split, Phase Reversal, Floyd Rose Licensed locking tremolo, white "anti-scratch" ABS Plastic back covers, Schaller Strap Locks. Built in a record of six months from scratch minus the neck, and several challenges along the way. This was the first full non-partscaster build I've done for someone else (a family membeR). We worked together to come up with the general design, and then I put it together. The body was from a disused planter some neighbors put out for scrap (I have several bodies coming from this), the neck is modified by me (it was a counterfeit Fender neck initially - strangely with such advanced features as a Bi-Directional Truss Rod). It's also the first "CreepingNet" guitar to feature an original Waterslide Decal and a Serial Number not printed out on a Letratag or Dynamo Label printer.
