Perhaps ask a mod to move this thread, it should be in a Work in progress rather than in the Gallery which is intended for completed instruments.

Would that be by a pm or something like that?

It makes me feel pretty good that someone that is Skilled in the Arts such as yourself has taken an interest in my endeavor!

I am NOT super skilled, just determined to have fun! More of a player than a builder, though I can do a decent set up. No off the shelf guitar really interests me any more. But thank you, and I do like what you are building. Let me qualify my player statement by saying from the sample of most all the guitar playing I have heard from forum members, I would rank in the bottom third in skill and talent level.

I love the clear/white gibson knobs.

The Hipshot bridge is great and super comfy.

Watch out for the saddles. My strat has one from 2009/10. The 9s I use actually wore a groove in the high e saddle. Not bad, but just enough to click and make sitar sounds.
A bit of sand paper solved it twice.

I'm not sure if the saddles are any harder in newer versions.
