Low budget build

[fretless]

So... boredom assailed me once more. Rummaged through my stuff and decided a single p90 tele was in order. Found a body on etsy for a paltry 35 dollars(yellow pine!), scorched it with my trusty propane torch and tung oiled the remains.What do y’all think?

I like the scorch.

Believe it or not, even with a Wilkinson M series ceramic p90, it’s got bark, bite and balls!

I believe it. There's nothing like a P-90.

I forgot to mention why I called it a low budget build. Believe it or not, I have less than a hundred dollars invested it it!

I have a real challenge coming up: a squier 51 body that got damaged (by me ), a cort 25.75 inch scale neck , the hardware from an ltd viper, and 2 dogear p90s. Getting all that mess to work together and play in tune, plus putting a decent finish on it and make it look like it belongs together. Whew! I’ll keep y’all updated as it goes. Also have a fretless p bass project that has me pretty stoked. All will be revealed in due time! Stay tuned...
