Have attached some pics of my most recently finished electric which is a mahogany 38mm body with a book-matched 3mm maple veneer on the top, joined onto a birdseye maple neck, all accentuated with all gold hardware, 3x humbucking pickups; feels nice, and sounds even nicer, plays awesome…. I couldn’t buy a real strat at any price that would compare with this, it is a truly unique item which will hopefully stay in my family for generations to come.
(also a pic of a piece of 1/2” cedar which I have an almost identical pair of, to be hand carved into an archtop in the course of the next few months when time permits)

Nice!
If I could play, I think I’d make nothing but guitars.

Awesome! How much would you say this cost you to build? Obviously thousands if you count your time/effort but I am in the process or designing one for my brother-in-law and he is going to select the pick-ups and various other parts.

Awesome! How did you go about building it? Did you buy or build a template? Did you reference any type of guitar building book? A guitar is high on my list of things to build.
