This looks incredibly but I think you fucked up and followed the directions backwards.
...because it's lefthanded...or do you mean the neck pocket contour!?
usually it's done the other way but as i am not a lead player i do not need
the UBER acess so i was going more for optics than comfort.
nope, just a few layers of tru oil gun stock finish!
thanks!
Man, fantastic work so far! Coming along nicely, I am completely envious. I have the tools and the ability, but I feel a bit overwhelmed anytime I think of building my own guitar... plus I'd get lazy and never finish it. Love the ESP style headstock and the body shape, wood choices... everything. Can't wait to see pics of the finished instrument.
thanks man!
if you have the tools etc. then just start making one!
there are plenty of YT videos with some great tips,
just watch how other do it and repeat,
the learning process is absolutely fast IMHO.
for me it's pure fun making this, even if i fuck it up at the
end it's still a great experience. you'll have to keep it going though.

Man, that's gotta be awesome, to build your own instrument! Much respect! Looking forward to soundclips
Oh, and I spilled my coffee at the ass shot. You owe me one keyboard. But if you send me a guitar, we'll call it even.

maybe if you put the word 'guitar' in the thread title, it'd get more views looks cool man! i want to build my own telecaster but i have not got the tools
looks cool man! i want to build my own telecaster but i have not got the tools Soultrash, this looks fantastic.
I like the design and building your own instrument is a great experience and very rewarding.
Keep posting updates and good luck with the build!

sorry about your keyboard, we'll see about the guitar,
maybe i'll make a few more, super quality wood, super quality hardware, simple look, fair price!
Is the headstock gonna be untilted?
Looking cool!
thanks. yeah the headstock will be blank.
i'am not sure yet if i should leave it as maple or put a walnut veneer on to fit the body.
thanks!

yeah, i'd get surely more attention with the word guitar in the title
it's not the same but you could start with a kit. there are cheap (but still good quality kits) out there. they are easy to assemble and you can still put your own note in in. no big tools needed
thanks man!

You know, I might actually be interested in this in a while
I've been playing with the idea of getting either a strat or a tele for some time now, and I think a natural look on those is pretty cool. Would you consider the possibility of taking orders at some point? No time-pressure or anything of course!You know, I might actually be interested in this in a while
look here for kits:

today we drilled/routed the electronic cavity.
as it's one pot only we drilled the "chamber" using a
forstner bit and routed the "bed" for the cover.
the cover will be made out of walnut also, should look nice.
i pimped a few of the pics to show the beautyful walnut grain

Beautiful! Congrats man!
I'll try to build one myself when I can afford all necessary equipment.
Looking forward to see it finished!

i know what you mean, actually would be reversed on most guitars but as i am absolutely no lead player i do not need the access. i also think that it looks pretty nice that way
thanks man!
i am really happy my uncle has a great workshop with all the necessary tools etc. otherwise i wouldn't be able to realize this project.

thanks man, i just hope i don't screw it up at the end
actually i was thinking about building a few more and sell them,
just to be able to buy new wood, hardware etc. so i can make even more guitars.
i am very critical in everything i
do so if i think that it's "ok", it would probably be "great" for most of the people,
still i'm not sure if i can build anything that's good enough to ask money for...
