Allrighty guys, here she is all done. like i said this is my first build. I had absoulutely ZERO previous experience with any type of wood working, besides like 7th grade wood shop from which i remember nothing from. I started from scrap, i had no idea what i was doing. ended up wasting a lot of wood due to the lack of experience and no tools. I didnt expect this one to even come out to sound like a guitar, this was just an attempt, but surprisingly it sounds pretty good i think. I have to agree there are many things on it that dont pass my expectations, but the reason for that being was the lack of tools and experience. if i screwd up on a part, i did some research, bought better tools, but that was AFTER the crew up lol, so now i have a whole room filled with tools (i live in an appartment for now) and a head with a lot more knowledge than when i started, and im expecting #2 to come out like gold!

I'll try and get a soundclip tomorrow. Please comment, critique, tell me what you like, what you dont like, i wanna hear it all

Haha man you and I are in the same boat. Your situation is exactly like mine. My workbench is set up in my hallway in front of my bathroom door, with tools almost literally piled on either side. Despite that I have managed to build two guitars so far. Yours looks great, keep it up.

Yeah my son's room is literally packed with tools. its really uncomfortable and i hate it, i wanna move into something with at least a garage so that i can set up over there, it'd make everything so much easier and more enjoyable. i hate digging to the bottom of my tools for a needle file lol

is there a way of getting a soundclip on here anyone???
