Winter Build Off 2019 – Mash Up

For this year’s build off, we will be venturing into the world of Mash-Up

So, what is a Mash-up and how does it apply to this build off?
  • A Mash-up is something created by combining elements from two or more sources.
  • The electronic signal path cannot be considered one of your elements (Pups/Tone Controls/Preamp)
  • Dimensioned lumber includes the following: billets, neck blanks, matched tops, stringers, thin laminates, finger boards etc.
  • Pre-fabricated parts such as necks and bodys can be used. Please list manufacturer when posting.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT cut or glue your dimensioned wood until the build off starts.
  • Any wood that is pre-sawn (other than dimensioned)and/or pre-glued, will be ridiculed mercilessly, tared, feathered, exiled to a foreign land, sent to bed without dinner, and stripped of all their wood
  • Minimum diameter for lowest pitch string is .084"

To enter the challenge, simply start a new thread using "Winter 2019 Build Off" as part of your title, and start building. In your initial post, please indicate the design elements you have chosen to mash, and a pic of your pile of dimensioned lumber with a tag with the saying "How about a mash-up theme?" somewhere in the pic. (Thanks @Reedt2000)

I ask that you please put a link to your build back to this thread so we have a central reference point for all of those that wish to participate

This posting marks the start of the build off and the end will be on Wednesday, March 20th 2019 11:59pm GMT -6

You can join when you have time, and you can enter as often as you like.

If you have any related questions, please feel free to post it here, or PM me.

Thanks and have fun!

I went through the very same thing last year at this time, to the point of losing all feeling in the first three digits in both hands; I couldn't hold a pick and I couldn't feel to pick up anything with my fingers. I was fortunate to find a sports therapy surgeon (okay, my wife works in the health care industry and she found me a surgeon).

I bravely did both hands at the same time... Think about it Folks... Not pretty (my wife of 9 1/2 years looked at me and said "We don't know each other well enough for me to help you out in that area")...

Fortunately I ended up with a 1/4" incision on each wrist and just a few days of down time. My feeling came back in my left hand immediately (easily 95%), my right hand came back slower, about 70% in the beginning but as I write this I have had a 100% recovery.

It is my wish that you have the same results.
