    I plan to put a set of Elixir Heavy strings on it, right now I'm using standard 42 - 9 strings
    Looks great!

    Not only ‘yee’, but also ‘haw’ as well!

    Fantastic work. Now if you can just practice and improve your soldering from ‘shitty’ to ‘OK’, you’ll be knocking your next guitar out in no time!

    See I had spent time to learn it, uhh like 3 years ago. I should have probably practiced again in hindsight but I actually needed to swap Irons because my beginning one straight up was not getting hot enough to melt the solder on the back of the volume pot, which was frustrating me and making my ability to work worse.

    Luc was having some issues getting photos to load, so I took some pictures of the guitar completed, and thought i would share them He did a bangup job getting all the hardware installed. I'm really grateful to this community for the help and advice you guys gave. Thank you all so much, from the both of us.









    Thank you guys again for making this a successful build!
