Probably would have ended up as firewood if not for yourself, Waz and many others helpful advice along the way. This forum is a great place to learn new skills and extend yourself

Yeah I agree, hands down one of the best communities on the internet. You should be really proud, going beyond the kit recipe is always a lot of problem solving, adapting and pushing through. Great result.

[Fretworn]

Nice. Great job.

Looks great Brendan.

How does it play and sound?

[Hardcoretroubadour]

It plays very nicely, good low action. Still feeling all the sounds out as I've never had an electric before, but there are plenty of options there. I'm not much of a player, but my neighbour is fantastic, so maybe I can record him doing something to give you a listen of what it can sound like. I would not inflict my playing on anyone.

You don't need to be able to play well to demo a guitar's sounds. In fact, too many demos show people playing far too fast with a distorted tone that could be any guitar. Slow chord arpeggios and slow single note sounds on clean do it for me. Yes, dirty it up as well but I want to know what it's like clean.

Greta job Brendan, looks fantastic and the graphics and epoxy turned out exceptionally well.
