Absolutely beautiful Rob. You've done an amazing job, and all without power tools. So impressive dude.
cheers,
Gav.

That's a stunning result Rob, looks amazing. I love that headstock shape too.
Great build.
Scott.
Robin, if. Your worried about pine and laminates?
You should check out the IKEAcaster.
Some dude made a Tele from an IKEA chopping block.
It's somewhere on the Internet
Bruce

Wow guys, I am truly flattered by your comments. But in all honesty anybody with a basic tool collection (that's all I have) could so the same. You don't even need a workshop. All you need is plenty of spare time and a pig-headed streak that won't let you quit.
@ Woks
Yeah Warren, I had a quick lesson on break angles or the lack thereof. Although I didn't have a great deal of choice as I REALLY wanted a guitar with the coolest accessory - the Bigsby.
@Vh
Thanks Tony. It is only the idea of a layered body that allowed me to try this one. But thanks anyway mate.
@Andrew, Gavin, Scott, Stan
Thanks guys, coming from some of the better guitar builders on this site, I am truly chuffed.
@ALM
Yeah Bruce, I saw that one. It was somewhat of an encouragement to give it a try.
Thanks again guys
rob
All I can say is WOW!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Beautiful, unique and just stunning looking piece of art!
@DB
Thanks Phil, really appreciate the encouragement.
@Arzi
Thanks mate, sometimes the simple things in life are the best.
cheers guys
