It's been a while since I assembled anything.

All Mahogany Deacon with Dragon Fire mini humbuckers, 5 way switch and a Woody pickguard.

The Neck and Body came from parts unknown and were stripped and lacquered.

Location: NW Washington State		Mike, just saw this, another nice one!

It looks like you used the standard 3-screw pickup mounting. Did you adapt 2-screw mini humbuckers to fit? I've thought of making a mounting plate/adapter but haven't done it.

What is the 5-way switch doing with 2 pickups?

Well... you were BFLG before there was a forum catagory, if I remember correctly. 

Founders are relevant for life. 

 

Beautiful job, Mike. I'm a sucker for mahogany.

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire		Yeah, this venue has morphed quite a bit from the do-it-cheap guitar hacking from past years. I will post my electric baritone uke pretty soon. It's kinda a wee-small Les Paul, with 4 strings, & definitely, bottomfeeding. I'm letting the lacquer harden- took about 8 coats, too.

That sounds cool too!

The way things are going, I might have to do a BFLG Memorial calendar next year! We're running out of room for normal guitars.

Stunning, MWoody! Thanks for sharing! Man, the last thing I need is an O-Electric GAS attack! But then, I sure would love to hear what that Deacon sounds like...any chance of a video?
