I change the 1st post due to picture giving others access to my album.
finally got it it finished this afternoon.
my son came around and was impressed that much that he want to play it when he comes next tuesday.
after he had gone home I said to my wife he can have it for xmas prezzy as well as the other one that I've made him.
I used a piezo pick up and it sound lovely as well with oput it plugged in.

Really Nice.. I like it..

Beautiful build. I really like the wood of the neck.
Now that it's all done, time to relax, relish the accomplishment, and then get on to the next one...and the next, and so on....great job.
Beautiful Build! I really like the headstock. Any tips?
the leaves ...the green bit I just used a green high lighter pen and it worked.
the box was already made by Dark cat in turkey.
it fell on the carpeted floor and broke up inc one leaf fell off.
the glue they used must of been air fix glue next to useless .
re-glued it all back together with tight bond and strengthened the corners with wedges etc.
as for the neck, I used tulip wood .
lovely wood to work with.
chicken john mention that what fender used in the early days.
I bough a spokeshave but the thing was useless so I used a grinder with a course pad.
took plenty of meat of in no time.
then I use a fine pad to dress it up and then used a 1" sanding roll fine and wet/dry very fine paper to finish off.
smooth as a baby's bum.
the head stock ,I use the off cut what was left off the fret board. glued to either side.
oh and I didn't bother with fret markers on the front,well ya can't see them when ya playing so I just put them on the side using a copper part of the soldering iron.
Nice build John
oh and thanks for the kind comments.
and another thing.
I find it rather strange that they are certain members are full of advice but never comments on any ones builds inc mine.
