"Hi Smiling dog1, thanks for your comments above. yes, I have also used the solid body idea you mentioned. I thought the box in question would not have lent itself to a decent acoustic sound, so I did the same. profile=RESIZE_710x"…"

"Hi, I have plans for my early builds as I wanted to make them repeatable. But repeating a CBG is awfully hard for me as I enjoy the freedom of random building. My plans would not be of much use to you as you possibly have a different neck, different…"

I searched through older threads. I found a couple that could be helpful but the links did not work. I have the guitar neck of my first ever guitar. Sentimental to me. I want to use it in the build. I have made ukuleles and guitar amps but I have never made and electric six string. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.See More
