Still in the planning stages, but starting to make a little progress on my first build.
Was up until about 3am this morning drawing out what you see. Most of the measurements
are very similar to a typical Fender Strat, with some Ibanez flare to make it unique.
I own one of the original AT100s (#9 of 150), so it was a given that it would be the
subject of my first build.
Aside from all I've read on this forum, I found a lot of help from the tutorial DVD
from LMI on designing & building a guitar from the LMI kits (they sell the DVD separately).
Body - One piece Alder ($30 score on Ebay!), planning on a tobacco burst
