In this video I’m doing something a little different than my usual tips-and-jigs content: I’m building a plywood shipping crate so a very special guitar can safely make its way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This Mosrite (the Joe Maphis model) has a direct connection to Randy Bachman and the early days of The Guess Who, and it came to my friend Roy Herman through a trade back in 1968—Roy’s Gibson Les Paul for this Mosrite. Roy and I were friends for 57 years, and after he passed, I bought the guitar from the estate so it wouldn’t disappear into the unknown. The goal was always to donate it somewhere the story would be preserved and people could actually see it. On the woodworking side, the crate is intentionally simple and practical. I used construction-grade 3/4" plywood for the sides, thinner plywood for the top and bottom, and assembled everything with screws after pre-drilling—basically copying how a lot of commercial shipping crates are built today. I also show some of the guitar’s details (old-growth Douglas fir, walnut back, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard) and I reveal the “Guess Who” secret: under a blue light you can clearly see three question marks on the guitar. The shipping company picked it up, and the Hall of Fame confirmed it arrived and is being acclimated before display.
