    It looks awesome. Loving the choice of woods. Headstock looks like a METAL version of the PRS headstock. Very nice!

            Well I've been screwing them together for many years, but I first got into scratch building about 5 years ago. I've built mostly prototype stuff and practiced my designs, not many finished guitars so far but that is changing.

              That is a very nice build! I always wanted to build my own from scratch, but lack of tools always deterred that. I always settled for using an already cut and routed body with and aftermarket neck as my base.

              You definitely have some skill and imagination that's for sure. I love your choice of woods and body shape also. That is going to look very nice, and probably sound very sweet also.

              What type of finish are you going to use for the body? Are you putting a logo on the headstock also?

              Can't wait to see more photo's of this build up.

                  Thanks! I need to wake up a little more before I post this early in the morning.

                    So far I don't plan on doing a logo - I'm just hand signing them. I've thought about putting an emblem on the truss rod covers - but I haven't decided on anything yet.

                    Thanks

                            Keep rockin' man.
                            You have some passion and talent for that.
                            Nice combo.
                            Work it.

                              Got any more pics? I always like watching the process of making guitars. Keep up the amazing work!

                                Very nice work!

                                Is it just me, or does it look like there's almost no neck wood left right before the headstock in photo #3?
