Latest design
Dont expect this to be regularly updated, It wont be!
I'll try to update it occasionally.
Heres the album with a few of my many, many design ideas and design revisions. This keeps changing all the time, the most current one is the one named "copy of new"

Please dont tell me you prefer one of the older designs, its too late.
I have already started this project, made the neck (not the fretboard though), and body wings, and a few other little odd bits.
I will try to get photos sometime soon.
Anyway, The specs are: 25.5" scale Neck Thru Oak neck and body, all salvaged from an old table (I know its heavy, its mainly hollow, and weight doesnt bother me that much anyway) 1 vol, 1 tone Sustainer on top of neck pickup Possibly a speaker, just for the hell of it, powered by same circuity as sustainer switching is with a rotary switch, idea stolen from gutarelectronics.com, "5 sounds from one humbucker", but instead of the humbucker I have 2 RWRP singles Multiple heat pickups, Idea is again stolen from someone on another forum Winding the pickups myself Neck Pickup will have the alnico bar magnet down the centre, and a taller, thinner coil for a more stratty sound.
Bridge pickup will be a P-90 clone.
The wiring is going to be INSANELY complex, I've drawn a layout for it, and it is pretty crazy.
The reason I'm going so overboard on my first decent attempt at building a whole guitar is because I want to do everything myself for practice for future, and I also want every switching option under the sun, so that in future I can refine it down to just the ones that work well and sound good.
Any thoughts/ opinions appreciated!
