This was a design that I had seen on this site and thought it was the coolest thing. This one took me 2 months to complete, well over 40 hours. After completion I noticed a few design flaws that I will correct in the next builds. I noticed that light strings need to be used and because of the sound dissipation the bottom deck will be omitted. Other than that it turned out very well. Looks great and I got stopped everywhere I went with it and it was the center of attention at my local Guitar Center. I dont think I will be hand-making a neck again and a heel that large. It was an extremely tedious and pain in the *** process that would take a machine a lot less time. Next time I will use a pre-constructed neck.
