    Like most of us on here not wanting to put good parts to waste. I'm going to call this build 100% successful in that regard. Good on you @DarkMark

    Thanks again. I felt it was really wasteful when I originally stuffed this neck up. I’m glad to of found a purpose for it. If I was to build this kind of thing again I assume it would be much easier with a bolt on neck. Some kind of roller system at the tail end (like the real guitars) and perhaps a roller bridge. Also I would be smarter than soldering everything at once so I could be smarter with my cavity routings for electronics. Otherwise it’s a pretty simple concept. Oh...and I’d try not to saw it in half again.

    Phew! For a minute there I was thinking whoa!, one expensive 'travel' guitar.

    cheers, Mark.

    A quick google search throws up the model I’ve based mine on as over $600. So If I brought the kit and threw the body away to build this I would still be in front. However, you would still be correct.
