Finished my first build 2 weeks ago. It is a Padron box Crow Inspired neck outside made of Poplar with an oak veneer on the head and 9mm shell casings for fret markers.
2 "first builds" 45 yrs apart. Banjo lam. rim 7 woods. neck maple lam w/tiger eye markers. lost the tip of thumb ignoring inner voice saying don't do this way trying to fit tone ring on router table. guitar is walnut, oak & sycamore made early 2017 before I started using cigar boxes.
Not yet finished and still work in progress. The strings are much to hight due to the design of the cigar box, so i´ve to change this. The pickup is in place but i´ve had not the right bolts to fasten it.

Nice looking build, reminds me of a flaming SG.

Nice stuff everyone
My first build
This is a retirement present for a friend
box and neck are Victorian mountain ash, fret board is W.A. Karri (Australian hard woods), 24.75 scale length
Hope he likes it
are those two speakers Gary? looking nice.
Thanks Timothy,
No they are the stainless steel perforated lids from a pair of teabag strainers
to cover the sound holes.
