Hmm, nice looking guitar, bit like a strat shape, yea the inlays are a bit fancy. Cheers mate.

Looked under LP guitars, no hollows i could see, so looked under hollows and saw the ES-2V on special. Nice guitar. Looks a bit big in the body, and set neck although there is a large deep cavity to set it in so could be ok for me. But how the hell do you fit in the electrics without a cutout panel in the back? Even with my small hands i dont think i could reach in to fit it through the front cutouts!

I believe the trick is you put everything in through the F holes then use long nose pliers and a bit of aquarium air tube over the pot shafts to pull them up :) I'm tossing up between that and the Hoff style bass as my build after the ES-5V I have sitting here :P

Ok, so what i might do is follow the master, wait until you start one then carefully follow your build diary. Thanks for your input though Dedman.

I'm no master, I just follow what the other guys tell me LOL.

See told him he was the business! yes andy the ES still looks a bit hard for me at this stage

ok, more questions, i hope you guys dont mind.....So are all the veneers the same thickness, and how thin are they? 1,2 or 3 ml thick?

does the Plantation Paulownia have a nice grin that will pop? Anyone tried it? And the ash?
Thanks for putting up with me...
