I have been taking my time reading it. It does seem like Keith is holding back a little bit. While he makes no it clear that he has done everything and anything under the sun, he seems to be neglecting some details. But like any biography you can't publish everything.

Looking at your Avatar, it seems like you have almost the polar opposite guitar.

They're "Cream" dots, and that was the one exception I made because it was a showcase neck. This could end up being my #1 guitar, so far after the weekends worth of playing, I'm starting to think this is the guitar I should have built 4 years ago.

Finished it on Friday night Here it is. As a comparison here is the original rendering

Cagey & Line6: Parts went on to mock everything up and get the pickguard hole positions marked and drilled, Once the pilot holes were drilled it was the simple task of unscrewing the pickups and pots (which were all finger tight) and peeling away the plastic. II mstratocaster: The studs will be...

Here it is. I got the final bits for this build today so it has officially started. Let me know what you guys think. This should be a quick build. It's all pre-finished, so just bolting it together and setting it up.

This arrived a few weeks ago, on May 19th, I walked in the door on my birthday and the UPS man had just dropped it off. The rest of the parts should be here soon.

Hey guys, It's been a little while since I've had time for an update. So here it is, The mandolin is just about done. It needs to be setup, have the bridge height worked out, but more or less done. Overall Quality of the materials and hardware was decent, the components were all made in...

Ya i was thinking about that as well, but I will never be as good as that man, so I'd say i'm not worthy of a guitar that looks like his. Stubhead: I know what you mean about the difference in tortoise pickguards, If I do choose to go with tortoise it will be the warmoth tortoise which to me...

Just put together some examples of the two colour combo's I'm working with. Let me know what you think.

I have noticed that white is the "classic" colour. I was looking at a black/red/black guard but that looks a little excessive for what I am going for. I've been playing with the idea of Tortoise shell with white pickup covers and knobs.

That is a combo thats been floating around in my head, except for the white guard, I'll have to play around with some color combos to decide on that one

Hey Guys, I couldn't help myself, I ordered my next project from Warmoth. Bright Red Strat body: -Swamp Ash -Top Route -S-S-S -American Standard Trem From the screamin' deal section Goncalo Alves Neck: -Goncalo Alves -Goncalo Alves -1 11/16" nut -10-16 compound radius -6230 SS frets...

Hey guys, Finally got a decent amount of time to make a push on the project. So far the Fret board has been cut to size and tapered. Bracing is on the front and back, I just glued the top onto the sides. Pics will follow.
