    This build has run awfully smoothly. You sure you haven't done this before???

    The poly brings the grain out nicely. Good work.

    Ha ha, there have been plenty of issues, trust me!. It's just that not having a deadline or rushing it, means I can take my time, figure out the problem and fix it. People on here have been a great help and pointing out things which I'd glossed over or hadn't noticed.

    And it has to be said, YouTube is just awesome. The whole thing was built using YouTube videos - especially Crimson guitars. But also things like a radius sanding block and sanding jig - just go on YouTube and see who has made one and how. Any problems - someone has had it before and shows how to solve it.

    It's not perfect by any means. The body is pretty straightforward and next time with a suitable template, I reckon the whole body could be cut, shaped, routed and sanded in a weekend.

    However the neck was quite tricky to do - and I've learnt a lot for the next one.
