Yeah it's a pity alright. The look from the back of the headstock is rotten - like he randomly placed the tuners....

same with the screws at the joining of teh neck and body. Pretty nice to have made your own though!

Yeah i'd prefer a set neck on it but still, it seems like a nice guitar apart from the headstock. Emmet, go on MSN

I've been following this guitar since he started making it and I could have sworn he was doing a 4+2 head. Ah well

He could have moved the tuners a little closer to the end of the headstock, might have looked a little better

Looks like it took him the best part of a year to complete. TBH it would've been firewood after about a month if I was doing it....love to have the patience/skill to attempt something like this

Aye. And if it was a 7 string.

He shot something like 25 coats of 50% thinned lacquer onto it :eek:

Wonder what the cost of doing this is...wood, tuners, bridge, pots, not to mention all the build equipment...

Well, if you already have the tools, excluding the hardware (tuners, bridge, pickups, electronics), €100 would get you started.
