    Thought i would experiment a few new construction ideas..
    So what better to build than my all time fav, a Thunderbird?

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

    Orr hell yes!! I actually had something very similar in mind for my first scratch build (whenever that may be)
    Is this a neck through DB?

    Thunderbirds are GO. Such a cool shape. I predict another enviable guitar evolving here.
