Travelling guitar.

Yay! It lives .. well done mate, I've been waiting for this

Thanks Mark. It’s been a good learning experience and confidence builder.

As the neck is original from a GR-1SF kit

Congrats on a successful experiment. I have to ask though...what happened to the rest of the kit?

cheers, Mark.

Build number 3 with a replacement neck.

Build number 3 with a replacement neck.

Like most of us on here not wanting to put good parts to waste. I'm going to call this build 100% successful in that regard. Good on you @DarkMark

Thanks again. I felt it was really wasteful when I originally stuffed this neck up. I’m glad to of found a purpose for it. If I was to build this kind of thing again I assume it would be much easier with a bolt on neck. Some kind of roller system at the tail end (like the real guitars) and perhaps a roller bridge. Also I would be smarter than soldering everything at once so I could be smarter with my cavity routings for electronics. Otherwise it’s a pretty simple concept. Oh...and I’d try not to saw it in half again.

Good job all round (minor additional saw work not considered...)

Now that you have met your brief, we would like to see many YT vids of this guitar travelled and played in many different locations over the coming years please.

Phew! For a minute there I was thinking whoa!, one expensive 'travel' guitar.

cheers, Mark.

A quick google search throws up the model I’ve based mine on as over $600. So If I brought the kit and threw the body away to build this I would still be in front. However, you would still be correct.

Great idea! The same song all around the world?
