    Hey Frankie I emailed the pic to my 4D buddy Popeye and he replied 'we are building THAT' so looks like its a project to start FDF - Four Dee Friday hahaha

    I'll get dressed pine lengths from the green shed (maybe a new selfy) and chop to about 42mm lengths on the drop saw, glue together and a heap of sanding to get it flat !!

    what shape shall we do ? LP, ST, SG, Tele ?

    I quite like the look of the tele !

    should be able to line up the pieces with 4 long straight pieces clamped on the edges holding it together

    I vote Strat, or something that doesn't have a straight edge to it. You would get more variation to the look of the grain, especially when putting in the belly rest and arm rest shaping.
    Acoustics:
    1995 Maton EM725C - Solid 'A' Spruce Top, QLD Walnut B&S, AP5 Pickup
    2015 Ibanez AEL108MD-NT - Laminated Spruce top, Laminated Mahogany B&S, Fishman Sonicore Pickup


    Electrics:

    Carsen Superstrat Rebuild - http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=6284

    Builds in Progress:

    I vote SG or IB-1, the IB profiled sides or the SG chamfer would wicked with all the grain patterns.

    Edit: You and Popeye are an inspiration. I can see my Better Half ripping out the "If Wokka and Popeye jumped off a cliff would you jump too?!?!" in the near future!

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
