Unfinished projects?

So, as I buy that Explorer kit, I was thinking about the other things I haven't finished, yet... And I figured I'm probably not alone in this.

What do you guys have?

I have:
  • GGG Script Phase 90 kit
  • GGG Violet Ram's Head Big Muff Pi kit
  • Finally find the right neck for my Gilmour Black Strat (the current neck feels too thin and the fretboard feels practically flat)
 
My black strat needs to have the bridge moved. It's not usable until it gets fixed :(

The numbskull who built it in the first place back in '96 drilled the holes wrong. I should just get another body.

It's gotta be pretty far off if you can't adjust for it with intonation screws...

Shouldn't be too hard to fix, though. Fill the old holes with dowels, drill new holes, apply finish over the old holes if visible. Know anybody with a drill press?

Need to finish sanding and paint my chinese strat, and put it back together. I'm only 3 months behind
 
  1. Currently working on a Noisy Cricket MkII amp.
  2. Have had an SG body and neck (and a bunch of parts) sitting around for a year or two now.
  3. Been meaning to fix the input/output/switching wiring in an old DIY Hornet pedal for literally years. In an effort to force myself to get it done, it's been sitting on my (extremely cramped) desk for at least a year now.

Yeah... That's what telecaster911 said when he was here for Namm. Don't know anyone local who I'd trust with it though.
 
I just found a project, inspired by this pic… (COOL OR WHAT!!!)

… which reminded me that I have an Ibanez that I packed away some years ago, so I dug it out. Pickguard was removed, but I have it.

Such a shame-- it’s hardly been played, and it’s mint except for... one pot doesn’t work, they spin inside the body, and the body top is cracked on both sides of the neck where they meet. I don’t know exactly how that happened, but I used to drink (only at home) a lot so…

After looking at it for a bit, I realized I can’t make it look anything close to as cool as the first pic, but I can do something cool to it. That dark blue would look good with that pink color-- no?

Does your father-in-law have a drill press? He seems the sort of guy that has everything else from what you've posted. LOL

He does. I'm not sure how I could accurately locate te holes the to get it in the correct place though.
 
I have almost 100 pedal circuits to build. No Lie.

The current projects though are three pedals for friends. The circuits were done so long ago, I kinda forget what they do. The enclosure artwork has been very challenging, but I need to execute the vision that I have for these things. It's what's going to make them cool.

Then there's that 69 Charger restoration that's about 10 years in so far and no end in sight.

I need to get a dual exhaust setup for the NewYorker. Well need is probably the wrong word.
I also have a set of Rallye rims for it that need to be restored. It needs a new washer fluid bottle. I need to fix a tail light harness. The steering coupler needs to be replaced.

I want to re-decorate the basement completely. New walls. New ceiling. New floor. Gut the bar and put in something less "I have this left over shit from a kitchen reno".

Clear out the entire garage and re-organize it with new cabinets, etc.

Unfinished Projects? I've got projects I haven't even thought of yet.
 
My parts strat needs a new volume pot, should get another coat of oil, needs the fret ends filed and still needs more work on the nut...

...any day now...any day...
 
Samick bass...been on the table for a few years, have done very little.
only needs a couple solder points, too...
