Thanks guys - keep em coming!

I've done a little sleuthing, buit only really scratched the surface of what is available in the archives - so much happened when I wasn't looking ?

Here's a quick look at the (meta) data. Sorted by date fort now - havn't thought too much about tagging with descriptions since the thread titles are reasonably descriptive.

Let's see how much data we can get together - want to add another category "other" for projects that don't fit into the guitar/amp categories - E.g. I recall a electronic kit being DIY'ed with peizo buzzers...

And once we have a chunk of info, maybe have some fun and vote for "Hall of Fame" to feature our favourites?

      You might have thought I forgot about this...added RIkus & G-man's updates & I got inspired by the thread ticker Norio added to the forum lately, added a few threads I hadn't seen before.

      If you see anything pop up in the ticker that you think should be here, please pop a link in this thread.

        Bumping this topic for our newer members - hopefully you'll be inspired to share your projects in time.

        P.s. Anyone feel free to recommend/update with new threads.
          a year later

          A 2018 bump and Update!

          Amended links that got 'lost' since the forum revamp - they should all work now (if not tag me and I'll fix 'em)

          Found and added some coooool old content...
          Manny's tele builds (x2)
          Racman's acoustic builds (x3)
          A couple amp builds and guitar mod threads
          and a entire pedal building section (31 posts!) by mtmattan (of Ashton Audio fame)

          Please help me out by adding your own build/mod/other threads and I'll update the main section with them.

          Thanks all!

          P.s. I'll be tagging people when I'm happy I've trawled enough that this is a decent representation of what all's in our archives.

          Having all these links in one place is awesome. I've got stuck on a 335 kit that I'm putting together, and reading through these is giving me the inspiration that I need. Thanks!!!!!!

              Alllrighty, think it's time for a 2019 bump for this thread.

              Aside from @Yeti's Bandmaster conversion is there anything interesting I might have missed? Post here and I'll update.

              Thanks!

              V8 You could throw in my klone thread as well.
              ... it's also got a plexi channel now, so the original thread title isn't too accurate anymore.
