UglyBob Posted January 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2015 ... and it's not a bike. This was a dumpster rescue. I saw the neck sticking out of a garbage can when I was coming home from a ride. I couldn't resist grabbing it and giving it life again. It's a late 70's to early 80's Kay body and neck that was gutted. The neck was straight so I figured it was worth saving. I grabbed one of the loaded pick guards from Guitar Fetish and fitted it to the body. I put a set of Elixir NanoWeb strings on it and had my brother do a professional setup. When we plugged it in and handed it to my nephew (his oldest son) and he saw quite happy with it. Not a pro level guitar, but a whole lot of fun. I might end up giving this one to the nephew that's living with us right now. He wants to learn, so I might dangle this one in front of him as incentive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted January 13, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 13, 2015 Found a couple of guitars by the side of the road near me. A Strat knockoff and a BC Rich Warlock knockoff. After a brief hiatus in my basement, they finally reached their destination - the landfill. There was a damned good reason they were out by the roadside.
