Thing I will likely be doing starting in a few weeks:
Building my own lap steel.
A Wet Helmet:
I have built a lot of electrics but never a lap steel. Let us know how it turns out

Hi. So... yeah. Finished the rebuild on my Canvas. It sounds like a cross between Queen and AC/DC now. I'm really not complaining. I think the witch hats really add a certain something. Once again, Burns Tri-Sonic copies, neck and mid, mid is reverse wound, reverse phase. Bridge is a special and odd sort of humbucker that's very distinct and clear. While staying alnico warm. It's actually pretty balanced with the singles, and the rw/rp means you get a nice effect at both 2 and 4 on the five-way.
Before, first, then after.

Also, I got a '83 Ovation Ultra Deluxe. It's got a nasty crack in the corner, but the bridge isn't lifting, so I think it's stable. Plus, hundred and fifty bones. It's dreadnaught-deep, and really comfortable. Electronics still work, which isn't bad for a 30 year old guitar. But if I plug it in and face the amp, I can make every sound Jimi ever made in about two minutes. Not with any sort of control, but it howls and suddenly I recognize it as part of Foxy Lady or some other feedback riff. It's probably bad, but it's really amusing.
KingOfIreland:
I live in university dorms. The last three months the heating has been off for over a week thrice.
It has been freezing for the last three months, and this place has single glazing and no insulation to speak of, also I live under the roof. It gets down to 3 degrees in about an hour flat.
My beautiful mahogany tanglewood is fucked. there's a 2mm gap between the heel and the body at the edge, and it continues for two inches or so. I've done some research and found out that it isn't even a dovetail joint, so basically the neck could snap off at any moment.
Also my dano has a crack down the side of the body, but that's not going to impact the sound any, so I'm calling it a sound hole.
warcabbit:
Damn, man. You'd think school insurance would cover that. It might, actually. Homeowner's insurance would. You have any music classes? Talk with a professor, they might know something.
