Years ago I got interested in making some solid body electric guitars because the fellow dating my sister-in-law was a musician in a rock band. He also worked at a guitar repair shop plus he was a pretty nice guy. I found it very interesting and decided to fool around and see what I could accomplish with no musical background. This was in the early 80's.
It was a bit of a challenge to see if I could actually make something that worked. I only had a table saw and a router at the time and did most of the work using templated for my router and hand tools. I got pretty good with a spokeshave *G*
It was fun and very educational while it lasted. My friend did all the wiring and setup. He eventually broke up with my sister-in-law but is still a lifelong friend and has his own guitar repair shop in Western New York.
These are all old photos I took with a camera using film that I scanned.
