When I found this site I thought I would build one or two guitars and move on to something else. But, I've seen some wildly creative instruments on this site that have provided me with a constant source of inspiration. Now I'm 30 instruments in and still going strong.

I think it would be fun to post pictures of the builds the we're the most proud of.

Don't feel limited to guitars. I've seen some homemade jigs, tools,drum kicks, and lots of other things that're both artistic and marvels of backyard engineering.

So lets each post one pick that's the best of what we've designed and built.

You've got some pretty slick detailing.

Beautiful!

Slow Paw's right. You can't just post one.

For me the appeal of building is having something I can't buy at Sam Ash and also to actually try all those silly ideas that I had when I was a boy. I guess I'm still a 14 year old at heart. I call this one Bio Hazard. I painted it with chalk board paint so I can draw on it and it has 20 red LED lights inside.

Green LED's would make this a "Reel Ten". ;P

I considered green But went for blood red
