No cigar boxes this time. This is my 3rd solid body build. Lots of new techniques. Loads of fun to make.
Solid beech body, oak neck, walnut fretboard. 2 hand wound single coil pickups with 3 way switch and master volume & tone. 4 strings tuned DADF#. Tru Oil satin finish

Thanks everyone! 

Tom - I was planning a  string for my 50th build, nut I've just taken a few orders so it might be 51.

Rooster - video to come, promise!

Nice!

Hey! THAT looks like a real guitar :-) Seriously, very smooooth, dude. Beautiful selection of beech and the appointments perfectly, tastefully complement - just as it should be. 6-string can't be far off?

Sweet.....................hope you do a video playing this one ;-)

Richey - what a fantastic build!  I've built two non-cigarbox builds recently, my Route 66 sign resonator, and a little 3-string strummer-stick (which hasn't been posted yet...)

Thank you gents. Professional? I don't know. Just getting better at hiding mistakes :-)
Jim - sometimes I need a break from rough hewn boxes...haha
Cheers all!
