You could try stilts? though, IMO you're tall enough!

This site looks like it carries a lot of All Parts stuff. Maybe go the All Parts site direct and check out the prices there?

Maybe the NZ site has added some mark up on the price - and you may end up getting it cheaper from the original people.

However, you will have to check out the exchange rates. All Parts is in US$ and the website you linked is in NZ$, both with delivery charges.

Worth doing your sums if dollars are tight with your budget. :dontknow:

Budget is hopefully $100 bucks

6 foot 6 inches.  Beat that.  Unfortunately it makes me look outrageously gigantic on stage....

Oh I can... I just ask my girlfriend for a piggy back ride. Lifeguards are scary strong... lol

I'll be putting as much as I can together this weekend, aswell as one more coat.

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Fifth coat on, neck on, neckplate on, studs in, bridge in. Next: drilling for the rear cavity cover and pickup rings and maybe tuner pilot holes.

Got some real progress today.

That is absolutely fantastic Conner, that neck is a real 'bute. Fits with the walnut just perfect, that is one fine build there.... :icon_thumright:

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Thanks, i was surprised at the neck, if you look at the grain on it, it almost matches the grain ion the body. Pleased to see your neckplate on there? And just one thing ConnOr.  :icon_thumright:

The only things left to do is:
-Sand down the humbucker ring (it's too tall for a super low action)
-Get new pots and wire to wire up the thing
-Drill screw holes for tuning keys and install them
-String up
-Set up
-Rock the hell out of it.  :headbang1:

I'll take the ring into school to use the belt sander, probably a 30 second job. And i'll see if I can get some tuners this weekend in town.
