"No Box No Problem" Solid body

"No Box No Problem" Solid body

Finally got to finish this project. Poplar and red oak neck with pine 2x4 sides. Water slide decal for the graphics and a 8K turn winding on the 3 pole bridge pickup. Volume and tone controls tuned G-D-g. 10" radius on the neck and copper foil tape in all the cavities for shielding. The orange finish is just Apple Barrel craft paint from Walmart used as a stain and a Tru oil finish.
