I'm really happy with the end result. I wanted a guitar that fit my personality and could do the things I wanted to do with a guitar, on my own music projects.

I bought all the parts in March, and with a small break in between (fear of messing this whole thing up), I just recently finished it. I had never done anything like this. Admittedly an expensive learning experience. I had Keith Holland Guitars in Los Gatos, CA fix all my mistakes after I finished. There was a lot of trial and error when I was soldering the wires into their places. The middle pickup sounded very muddled and the volume pot was off, until I had the professionals fix it. Basically the volume would go to silent at 1, then at 0 it would go up to full volume.

Neck:
22 frets
25-1/2" Scale
9.5" Radius
Roasted Maple neck wood
Indian Rosewood (Dark) fingerboard
Abalone dots
6150 fret size
Vintage Style (11/32") Tuner Ream
White corian nut

Body:
Black Korina
