Then it came time for the logo. Although my build is based on a specific branded guitar (am I allowed to say their name here?) I'm not trying to pass it off as one.

Re the amount of builds, I do have a big advantage having a workshop and tools and I also work from home...in that workshop, so if things are quiet in my day job I can wonder over and tinker on the build table.
Compared to building cars (my previous hobby) these are so much easier to work on and finish off.
(BTW Nice to see a Canuck on the forum, my Dad hails from Duncan B.C)
