Hi Guys,

Well I have finally got one together, its been a bit of a learning curve !!!

I had not found this site when I had started it, so I had no idea what I was doing.

I think the next one will be a fretless, and the tips I have picked up from here it

should make the job easyer.

I have nowhere to build, so this was a kitchen table job, done to a very low budget.

The neck is oak (the most expensive bit £6)

The box cost me £1 (From a great cigar shop I have found)

The frets are cocktail sticks.

The machine heads I got from E-bay, less than £5 including postage for a full set (So I have 3 left for my next one !!!)  they came from China, they took a while to get here, but for the you connot go wrong.

Its fitted with a piezo pickup £4 E-bay.

Waterslide transfer £2 E-bay.

And the rest is just bits and bobs I had hanging around.

Anyway I thoght I would share my first effort with you.

Planning my next one allready !!!
