My First Build is Done!

Hi all:

These link will take you to a diary of my first electric guitar build. I did the body from scratch, bought the neck, wired and assembled everything myself.

It plays and sounds quite good. It's been a lot of fun, and a real learning experience for me.

Hope you enjoy the pics and the project build:

What wood is the body? It looks like pine.

Yep - 1/2" maple cap over a 1-1/4" pine body.

Thanks Roger... If I remember correctly, it was a post of yours that got me started on building one myself - So, thank you!
