Latest: a couple of fuzz faces. The red one is for me, so everything is socketed for experimentation. The purple sparkle is for somebody else and all of the parts are soldered in place.

You should seriously make a site and sell these man. The size plus build quality would make you a hit round these parts.

I have (and probably will) build for others from time to time, but I am probably not going to go the full on business/website route. I've already got another pedal company in the works. I've partnered with 4 other guys and we are working on original circuits. We're focused more on standard sized builds at this point, but who knows what the future holds? Actually, you might know a couple of them; Culturejam posts here all the time and Brian from Madbean pedals is fairly well known.

The mini build thing is more of my own personal obsession (I've certainly built a ton of them). If there is something you see that you are looking for, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Not a pedal, but definitely DIY, so I'm posting it here. Over in the What are you working on? topic, I posted that I was making a pickguard for my wife's P Bass Jr. Her original pickguard was discolored by a sticker that sat for years on the original protective plastic.

I ended up sourcing some actual celluloid tort from China, and made her pickguard, and had enough material to make one for my Squier CV 50s Tele.

Here are the photos:

Thanks guys. :)

First time I used my router table (only the 2nd time I've used a router). I think they came out good. The bass one is better than the tele, I think, but the P pickup took some creativity to cut out.

She's happy with it, but now that I have a template, she has been surfing Ebay to buy more material. :facepalm:

Zvex Super Hard On. It is one of my first builds but I botched the original graphic/paint job so I redid it with this technique I've be using.
