    I saw these this afternoon as well. Even for someone like me with either the tools or the ability these are very interesting...

    Thanks to my 18th a couple of weeks ago I've acquired a few goodies that in
    theory will allow me to try a scratch body build.
    Hey DB, since you're routing the pre-made bodies is there the possibility for custom routs?
    e.g. humbucker routed tele.

    No worries Mate. I have the templates so I can do this for the same price

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Wow this is great news. Just last night I was searching for body blanks, then you hit us with these gem's.

    Any chance you will have some top caps. 5mm/16mm.
    Also some thickness dimensions in the product description would be handy. Even if its just approximate thickness.

    I am ludicrously excited by this. My woodworking father is going to go nuts on the Blackwood....
