I BUILT A GUITAR!

This is the guitar I built (and have been playing all day). It is made up of a 1969 E-110 TEISCO guitar and a 1967 SILVERTONE DANELECTRO bass.
I purchased them from my Great Grandfather's estate sale when I was about 11 or 12 yrs. old. I used to play around with them in his attic.
Sadly they both were once in nice/satisfactory condition and completely playable until my inquisitive grubby hands put stickers all over them, took them apart, and essentially ruined them.
UNTIL NOW. I am very glad to have made this guitar. I ordered the missing pieces off EBAY - re-soldered the lipstick pickup electronics and repainted it. Here is a rough step by step for you to see what I did exactly.
