    I love that your build is a bit rustic & imperfect. No insult intended. Why do humans feel the need to attain perfection. Your build is perfectly imperfect. Thanks for posting.

    So much for all of the tone wood BS right. This proves what I have always said if you can play you can make any guitar sound good. Even one with one pickup and no volume or tone made out of 2x4's. Great job.

      Certainly irrespective of tonewood. I'd say the most important is the pickup ( you can equalize it but not always ). Otherwise it's mostly down to how good it plays, though if someone can play better they will sound good on worse guitars, I know at least string action make a difference

    It turned out great Rob. I like that it's a full scale with a smaller body. When do they go into production? 😏

      If I had a spare 24" neck originally I would have gone with that, but unique is cool and I'm more comfortable with full scale 🤘😎 maybe one day 🤣

      @@theguitarmanifesto Sorry for the confusion brother. I was trying to be complimentary! At around 8:50 you show the back of the body. "Wood rings" might have been the wrong phrase for me to use LOL. I just loved the wavy contrast that was made by the blue stain against the bare wood. To me it looked like waves or ripples. But as you progress you stain it all solid for uniformity. Top job! Looks/sounds great!!✌I see I used the word "painted" in my first post-I meant stained-oops!!😹😹😹😹

      It does make a difference to a certain extent but hard to pinpoint, mass or density definitely affects the sound in some way
