Great looking guitar. I’ve been working on one of my own for a while now. I need to get working on that.

Very Very nice, I used to make guitars about 25 years ago and I’ve missed it every since. I never learned to play ( I was a drummer) but maybe someday. In my town there is one of the best guitar suppliers in the world named Luthiers Mercantile Intertnational, Inc.

That is a beautiful musical instrument. Did you make it for yourself or do you make them for others? Either way, I’m sure it will be enjoyed extensively.

Beautiful guitar. I agree, the wood looks 100 time better than plastic.

Kyle your guitar is beautiful. I agree with the contrasts of the materials. Wonderful idea to rout in the shape of a pickguard in the top and then use rear acess. It keeps the vintage Fender look. I would love to hear more about it. What was the finish process? How is the playability and intonation.
Keith.
-- Keith, Bolingbrook, Illinois. How did you do that? I just started with a bunch of wood and cut away anything that's not part of the finished piece...

Great looking guitar. The pick guard detail is awsome. Great idea.
I’m in the process of building a Telecaster. Should have it finished today.

Very beautiful guitar. I like your choice of woods and the gold hardware accents. I’ll bet it plays and sounds as good as it looks.
I Like It!

Thanks for all of the comments!
Durnik150, I made it for myself. I would like to start building them to sell, maybe someday.
Keith, it is a laquer finish. The playability and intonation is great… when someone other than me is playing it! I missed out on musical talent!
