heheh - you're late to the dance Paul - http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/two_guitars.jpg The one on the left I made in 1989 the one on the right was made in 1999 with four more in between. All hand made, neck-thru, oil and wax finish. They''re getting a little worn but I play them both in bands. I would suggest you get Melvyn Hiscock's book - Make Your Own Electric Guitar. Check out http://www.stewmac.com they have pretty much anything you need. Do the inlay yourself - it's a lot easier than it looks (you do need a Dremel router though). There's a great book on it at Stew Mac. Building a guitar is about as rewarding an experience as you can have - have fun.
