Not sure where that button is Franken! But yes that's an ebony FB and flamed maple drop top, plus a flamed maple neck. I just got them from StewMac. I figured out since I spent so much time making the templates and all might as well do another strat build!Originally Posted by FrankenWashie
I'll have to wait at least 2 weeks to get started on that. Have to wait for the wood to acclimatise first.
hey Simon I think storage room should be perfect for storing the timber. If you are starting in 2 -3 weeks then it's not that important
ask DB as a reference Simon he will say I am definitely not cheeky bwhahah

I've finally come to the end of my guitar build. I'm both sad but happy at the same time. I spent a lot of time and this was my first but great things await the following builds with the skills I picked up along the way.
See the pictures in a video with nice background music here:

holy carp Simon for a first scratch body/neck build you hit it right out of the park. That looks like a build from a professional luthier mate. I am about to check out the youtube vid, sure it plays and sounds great.

Thanks wokka! There are some areas where I made some mistakes but these mistakes are meant to be learned from! I was kinda surprised I actually was able to do this. Has been my dream for many years!
It plays and sounds like a dream! Will make a video of the sound soon!
Btw where can I get one of those holy carps?
And I have to wait 30s between posts!
