Thanks Kevin. Yeah, its my pride and joy right now. My first was good enough, but this one is my best attempt at wood working. I'm going to change out the fretboard later but right now, it plays well.
You can't afford pickups?!?!? I know you can. Here is a link to a cheap pickup I found on ebay
Great looking guitars, Kevin. I'm just a builder, can't play worth a s**t. I'm always looking for ideas and ran across your site. Not to many of us in the midwest. Take care, nice pics

The Vickroids usually perform often. That's me on CBG and vox, plus drums and sometimes harmonica. That group has been on hiatus for a minute, soon to be over and has been temporarily replaced with impromtu CBG one man band gigs before or during gigs with my other 2 bands [which I actually play drums in...]
