This build is not done quite yet, but since the big stuff is together I can see it.  I am super excited and wanted to share an almost done picture.  One thing I really like about building these things is that every build is better than the one prior even though every one is an experiment.  I'll post a video when it's all done.

Looks good so far!!!! You may even rival me for "The Guitar Porcupine" or "Garage sale clamps"

That is one crazy picture

lookin  guuud

pleeeeease release me let me goooo

Looking good.  It's a great feeling when all you have left to do is string it up. 

That's a beauty!  I'd be excited as well.  Can't wait to hear it.

Hey Dog - what wood did you use for the neck - looks real nice.

It's poplar, but the fret board is purple heart from cbgitty.  The purple heart was a lot more purple than I anticipated so I stained it with an ebony stain getting it pretty close to black.

Looks nice - I have not attempted a fret board yet.
But I am still claiming bragging rights as "Clamp King" - I believe I used 3 more clamps in total and at least one more type and....and... and...all on the box alone!!!!! :-)

Be sure to show us a pic with the tuners and strings on!!
