Thanks guys, this was a fantastic view of this build, worth the time to watch the whole process. While I haven’t been one for “relic” guitars, this doesn’t look too beat up and unrealistic.
The frozen section was a surprise.
Maybe we will see this one played the ol’ YouTube sometime.
Look forward to more guitar builds and maybe some pickup winding.
