Prairie Custom Guitars

Well this one started off as a bet

You can't make a guitar out of that

 Well after much time with the planer jointer sander and elbow grease

When I did my metal scan before I went to the planer

I found a tack with 1922 stamped on the head

This post was taken from the fencing on the Railroad Track

It was put up in the early 1900's

You can see why cedar was used.The inside of this

post was just like the day it was cut 

This is what we ended up with 

 Well I just love binding on a tele

The binding on this has 2 purposes

For looks and because cedar is so soft it will 

help protect the edges 

Then it was time for the pickup routing and the ferrule holes 

Now it's sanding and finishing time 

Here it is with a couple coats of nitro

Many more to come

Just a couple updated pics

More nitro

The colors are really starting to come out now

 Well after a month of waiting it is sanding and buffing time

Turned out pretty good for an old post
