First I gotta say thanks for this website! So much useful information on here. I love just browsing everyone's threads and unconsciously absorbing information.
I've recently jumped into guitar building, and I figured I'd actually post some pics for people to see them. I had no prior experience with woodworking. However, my dad used to build all kinds of things so I luckily had access to many tools. This site, and my dad's tips have helped me out tremendously.
I've got 2 original shapes here. On both guitars I've used a premade neck from guitarpartsonline. My next build I plan on making the neck myself. These guitars are made out of plywood I had laying around... (albeit higher quality, very old plywood)
Here's my first build (Painted the stripes to pretend it's a neck-thru, lol)
And my second.
Hard to see in the photo, but the second guitar I've recessed the bridge. It turned out pretty sweet looking. I used the wiring diagram I posted over in the electronics area, it works great, and it's a lot of fun to play around with.
I documented both builds to an extent on my photobucket if anyone it interested in looking.

I'm not sure what type of neck I should build first, A bolt on or a set neck? I figure a bolt on would be safer. Any thoughts or incite would be appreciated.
Anyways, thanks for looking!
