Did someone say beer? Really sweet job on the surf face box Chuck, i love the whole themed build. Though you have started something now; you are going to have to by a hard shell case and paint and upholster it to match!

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Isn't that "build" a hardshell case, then train some silk worms to create the cloth to line it with!!!

Case? Case? Surely you just strap it to your roof-rack, race down to the beach with it and away you go!
Thumbs up all round from me, guitar and pedal!

Might be a stretch. The best silk comes from Chinese silkworms, you may have to learn Mandarin to train them, which would just make things incredibly difficult.

It's a sad state of affairs when you need to go back to page 5 of the builds to find your own one! Anyway, I'm finally on the home stretch with wet'n'drying (1200 then 2000)/polishing (Meguiers Ultimate Compound then Scratch-X) the body before assembly. In the meantime I've at least managed to have the wiring completed with the help of a mate.
With any luck I'll be done within a week!

wiring looks good Chuck, so how is it setup ? is that a mini toggle switch ? Maybe a tone bleed circuit saw a small resistor.
What pups are they ?
