    Sometimes your kids build the craziest looking things...

    OK, so the guitar making process is rubbing off on my oldest son (turning 11). He is already soldering my guitar electronics and other stuff (Jaycar projects etc) and now he has jig-sawed (with my supervision) out a tele style guitar on a piece of 7mm ply. His hope is to layer each piece till it's about 1 1/2" to 2" thick, then buy a neck and viola! - a plywood guitar. But the rub is, this thing has an extra horn on the bottom. Now I know Adam can work magic with custom builds as long as there is a blueprint or whatever with regular guitars, but is there any way this could be made into a one off kit for Christmas? Could I buy a slab of wood and pay one of you gentlemen to cut it out and maybe route the body?
    This is what he is up to:

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    With reference to Tasmanians it would be a bit like a dog with 2 appendages and not knowing which one to lick.

    Just a quick shout out to DB has stuck his hand up to help out with this bizarre project. Thanks DB!

    And yes, I am aware of the appendage situation - but lets remember, he's 10, not 16 - and there are PLENTY more lowbrow guitar shapes out there. Some of which may even look "attractive" to Tasmanians
