hey just though i would post some pics of the recipient of my first build. i ended up giving it to my best friends son he was about 9 months in the first pic and just turned 1 in the second and third. his favorite toys are this guitar and a gretsch drum his dad found he has been beating on the drum since about 6 months and every time someone picks up the guitar he crawls up in to there lap and sits just like the first pic until you put the guitar down.

Tim replied to Jerryrig240's discussion Best place to get pickup wire on line"do a search for magnetic wire. on standard pickups 42awg is pretty standard but use what ever you want isnt that the name of this game."
