So Mike at Potvin Guitars is a good buddy and a ways back he built a BillyBo (Aka Gretsch Jupiter) guitar. I'm not sure what happened but something sparked for me and I just had to build one. Decided to build it around the same neck as the Daylighters to simplify things.
My norm- the chambered mahogany body.
Picking out a top.
I decided to try something new on this one. I've seen a few builds do this, the recessed electrosocket and I wanted to try it. So first I drill the 1" OD recess.
Then change the bit for the 7/8 thru bore.
There we go! AWESOME.
Back of the Big Boy
With the neck pressed in. So this will get Filtertrons and a Bigsby... can't WAIT.
