All done!

Well after quite a few months of work, and some big learning curves the guitar is now complete!

It has quite heavy strings on it to bring out the acoustics and it works well.  It is, as you would expect, much louder acoustically than a solid body guitar and amplified it has some wonderful warm and or bright classic tones despite being relatively cheap (£17 each or £30 for a pair) Vanson toaster PAF style pick ups - The neck is a '57 spec alnico II, and the bridge is '59 spec alnico IV with 0.022uF polypro capacitors and they are wired independent so you can blend them better when both pick ups are selected.

Here it is along side the Lils Paul kit we made last year.

All in all it has been a fab project built with only a few basic hand/power tools and it proves that if you're willing to give it ago, anyone with a bit of enthusiasm and patience can build a fab instrument!

Here's a video a quick video going through the various pick up selections both clean and dirty.   Bear in mind that it was filmed on a phone so is not massively representative of the actual tone.  My playing, like my building, is more enthusiastic than good so that doesn't really help either...

Anyway I hope you've enjoyed this blog, feel free to leave any comments and I can't wait to start my next project! :-)
