beautiful start - how did you decide on the design? Do you have a plan?

That's a project I've always wanted to try but have never pulled the trigger on it.

Nice work on the guitar build.
I have made two full size acoustic guitars in the past both using Martin style bracing pattern . They are fun to make and take a lot of patience if using the dovetail neck attachment like I did .
It was before digital cameras and we never even thought of taking pictures and sending them away to be developed back then.
Now I wish I had actually taken and saved a few pictures. Didn't even have a computer back then .
Keep up the good work on your guitar .

No problem. Bookmark the thread and, look through it. I got lots of help from Chriselle (Chris). He builds custom amplifiers as well as guitars in Japan. Has a ton of knowledge about this stuff. I think you're doing fine and, I hope you will keep us up to date on your progress. I've been wanting to build a Strat for a couple of years now but, $$$$ are not there right now. Maybe some day!
Yeah, but does it write.......?? http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/fender-stratocaster-47127/ :biggrin:

That's going to be a beauty... wouldn't do me any good to try my hand at one.. I have a tin ear, can't carry a tune in a bucket and don't even play a radio well...
