With exception of the last two guitars I built, one I refurbished, and the sg body that my brother inlaw gave me every thing I have is over 20 years old.

Fourteen and a banjo (yes a banjo they gave it to me). currently building a strat type (swamp ash body) with a hard tail bridge and Fender texas special pick ups on a pearloid pick guard.  I just mixed two bottles of dye today blue & black. I will lay down the black dye first then sand it back so just the wood grain is heavy (black) and then go over with the blue dye to fill in the back ground. After its dry I will seal it(if you dont use a grain filler the wood soaks finish like a sponge) and start to do a oil rub finish. The heavy grain pops when it has a different color dye bed (back ground). I am also working on an sg type guitar, I don't know if I am going to use some epiphone LP pickups I kept from a repair as part of the paymemt (installed a EMG Zak Wylde set of pick ups) or go with a set of GFS pick ups.

I have a hagstrom swede from the early 70s...I think the guy from Sly and the Family Stone played the same model...
