I'll get started properly on this once I've got the bulk of the woodwork out of the way on the Rick and Strat builds. But I thought I'd start the diary anyway. If there is interest in the process I'll aim to take plenty of photos to show everything step by step. It'll be a lot of work with hand tools rather than power tools.

Here's the main resource I'll be referring to and the plan for the building form. This plan is based on a Stradivarius but I also have a plan for a Guarneri.
