I had some printed paper of a toy guitar so I use that as a template and I was quite pleased with the result that is why I posted.at 63(tomorrow) I feel like a little kid in a candy shop LOL
just thought I'll show it as it is till I get all my parts in.doing the fret board today ,dark walnut .
wanted black fret wire none available.
once its finished it will have a semi Gothic look with skull tuner/skeletel hands holding the flatpup(more or less just resting onto the f/pup.)...all fitments will be in black.
I wanted to do it in gold coloured to match the olive wood but my eldest said do it in black etc so I did or will do.
what bits of olive wood I have(cut out) I'll make a bridge,some thing like what chicken john make.

my gift is in metal but I will do the best I can in wood.thankfully I can always rely on you guys to help me along.
here is the bridge that chicken john make.
this is for my youngest son 28 years old.
I want this to be some thing special for him to remember me as years go by and when I'm no longer around.
on the back of the guitar I will put a little brass plaque engraved with ...
