My newest guitar


Since some folks here are into building guitars .... I decided to give it a go too..... 

after all, how hard can it be. 

Couple of boards and some parts.... a few screws and about an hour of time with a jig saw.....

and 

Waaa laaa.... the hardest part was getting the stink out of the cat food can.

    Now you just have to ruff it up a little to give it that 'road worn' look, and you'll be on to something there!

    And yeah! What's the big idea' cuttin' off the head?! :)

    Ya know, as I'm looking at it, the cat food can is crying out for some of that gold hammered spray paint ...

    How come no pick guard ??

    Shouldn't it have a splinter guard instead?  

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot--hey, who the hell are you guys?
