AAAAAaauuuuuuuuhhhhhhh! What a bummer! Dude I feel for ya. I can't tell you how many times I munged up a box or did something bone-headed on my part.

On the upside, this is a great reason to start on your second... third... fourth...

I'm sure if Pete Townshend built a cbg it would look the same way!!! That's what's great about these builds-at least theres not a large investment. Hope to see your next build soon.

Everything in life should be a lesson learned. To echo Wade, at least the lesson is relatively inexpensive.
Ok, enough philosophy. Man, that stinks... and it was your 1st too. Double stink.

Try putting the neck on the router to round off the back of the neck, only to find you routed the fingerboard side instead....scratch one neck.

We all have done stuff like that...just another excuse to build another one!! Onwards and upwards!!

Not a large investment it may not be, but I know the pain of something you created becoming junk! I feel for ya, but take that and run with whats learned! Cant wait to see # 2 in all it's glory!

Just got to feel for ya mate, done a few things like that, Dad always said "measure twice, cut once" What would he know he was a salesman, turns out he knew quite a bit....and as they say "Learn from your mistakes" I am sure its half the fun.
