Yep, this is the birthday guitar. The tele is his also. He went in half with me to buy the kit because he had never built a guitar before and needed practice too. He plays it. I think he likes it because it sounds different than his stratocaster.

I've considered buying a kit and listing it in my Etsy shop afterwards. But I think there's a lot of liability there. What would be awesome is if someone had me wood burn and paint the body and neck, then THEY did the finishing and building! Lol. I really enjoy doing these, but I am not fond of the clear coating, and building the electronics then setting it up is beyond my current abilities. So if you know anyone who wants to go in on a venture like that, send em my way!
