Haven't been here much for a few years. This is part of the reason. Its taken much longer than it should have. A mix of fun and frustrating. The biggest problem is I often had to leave it weeks between build sessions, in which time the timber would warp! Maybe I should stick to solid bodies.
More photos in first comment.
The body is, obviously, all mine. The top is spruce from the local luthier supply shop. Bracing is all cedar except for the bridge plate, which is rosewood. The sides are 2mm meranti plywood, and the back is sapele from a boat I bought 40 years ago! The neck is a stratocaster copy secondhand from Simon, but I altered the headstock to make it more telecaster like. The finish is tru-oil.
