Finished. More pictures to follow but I'm trying to get it ready to be played tonight. If I'm lucky, it'll be played by the Wood Street Bloodhounds at the Fresco Cafe. Video?....perhaps. I can't believe it turned out, plays and looks okay. Very exciting. I start a couple more tomorrow....fretless perhaps and or resonator....or both even.

Went for an electric for the first, so yes, no sound holes. The next one or two will certainly be acoustic. Its amazing what you learn building these guitars. Thanks for the comments.
I tried to get my friends to play it last night but they had an acoustic set....not an amp in site!
I gave the gutar to Steve Avery from the Wood Street Bloodhounds to try. I imagine he'll give it a whirl but not till after the Bears/Greenbay game. Waiting for his review, in the meantime though, I'm heading downstirs to see what the wood says about what guitar I'll make next.

Very nice looking git, I would like to know more about that interesting looking pickup............
And as always, would like to see the hidden construction details.
