ES5V first build

[DarkMark]

That is a BEAUTIFUL guitar. You have done a fantastic job Mark, you must be very proud of what you have achieved.

Thanks Dougr. I’m glad you got to see it. I couldn’t of done it and would not of attempted it without your YouTube videos so I owe you a debt of gratitude. I’ve made a small change. I’ve replaced the wooden knobs with chicken heads. I didn’t like the chicken heads when I first did a mock build, but I like them now. I ordered them after watching a video of Barney Kessel talking about his guitar. He had pulled off his knobs and replaced them with chicken heads (Please, no jokes) from an old record player because he could not read the numbers on his knobs under stage lighting. Not a problem I’m likely to suffer, just a little nod to Mr Kessel.
Thanks for checking out the diary.
