That's a cool little build there Shane. If anyone decides to build one like this, I recommend something real hard for the neck. Soft pine will warp under string pressure in no time flat for a 6 string.

It looks like the thought of that, classic acoustic nylon strings have a LOT less tension, and the neck is a lot thicker, he just used a round over bit to take off the back edges, not a full neck shaping, so it's thicker and blockier...

cotter pins work good.  I stopped using them as the super glue used to fail at the most annoying times

Good share. Perfect kind of project for a recycle day event. We got a wood crusher at work that eats a variety of wood including possible tele's.
