But now I am!!

Change of plan though; this is now the guitar I want to finish up with, white and everything;

using the same parts minus the top. Basically a V with a lp scale-length and neck profile. Also, looking at my blanks and design, there's no reason why it shouldn't be neck-thru, plus it seems like the more straightforward route to go down.

I'm starting a new band atm too, so my objectives are to have this build finished and gigged with the new band within the year. PLeeeeeeeease pester me. I'm now out of uni with a steady job so the only delays should be a month at most waiting for pay day - any longer and I'm procrastinating.

No camera so I can't prove it, but I've been working on much more detailed sketches than previous, going to complete full-size body plans tomorrow, even relating it to the blanks (drawing out how and where to cut them and to what size).

I shall hopefully find a way of getting a picture of these plans up asap, if for nothing else than for my own d0cumentation

So in essence, it's a more simplified, standard, 'ready' design in that everything's been done before and it's not a 'new' guitar design, which, being my first build, is a good thing, and I've a definite objective. It's my 23rd birthday on friday, and it's going to be built, finished and gigged by my 24th.

Hope to be posting again very soon!
