Have any of you built your own electric guitars?
I have, I started the build in woodshop while in High School.. it took me a few years to finish after I graduated..it had a laminated and carved body.. rock maple/mahogany/rock maple with a birds eye maple top.. Set neck (that I carved with a spokeshave) rosewood fret board that I carved..

Think of an Alembic Bass, that was the style i made.. The body was a ***** to shape because of the maple....

It had a tung oil satin/matte finish..

And DiMarzio PAF humbuckers coil tapped and wired for every combination possible..

Unfortunately it met a horrible demise at a gig when it got knocked over and the headstock broke off
