Wow looks amazing. Definitely keeping this one in mind.

We'll other than filing a chip on the fretboard, it's just sanding and finishing left.

Progress this weekend. Lined up and drilled the holes to attach the neck. Going to need a bit of shining...

After I finished that, I whipped up a cross cut sled for my circular saw.
(By whipped up, I mean spent a few hours getting it right. ;-) )

Not quite as accurate as I wanted, but still far far...

Well I've done a little more work on the project today.

Finally got a round to drilling the neck mounting holes and recesses for the ferrules.
Not sure what I was worried about for these, went...

Last week, I did some filling of the knots with sanding dust and superglue, as well as give the back of the neck pocket a bit of shape for better upper fret access (not that i get up there very...

Built the body out of a bit of knotty Bunya pine. I've only just got stung to filing those knots. Thought I'd do all of the initial shaping first.

I made a pattern out of MDF with the jigsaw and...

Yeah Wokka. Been around a while. Have done 2 of the kit builds one of the early strats, which turned out awesome and was still using live but need to check the wiring has developed an intermittent...

Some photos of the plan.

A little late in starting this thread.
Back at Christmas time I had started my first scratch bodied guitar.

I wanted to do an offset style tele guitar.

I started with some standard tele plans...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But has anyone played these yet. I'm interested in one of the mahogany ICs but am would like to know how the necks feel? Quality fret job? Tuners? Is it worth it for...
