decided to build a new guitar. I used mahogany for the neck . I was going to put a single coil pickup in it but it came out so good already, I don't want to mess it up by cutting into the neck. I'll keep those parts for another build :) so far this has taken around 20 hours. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10158817889940142.1073741...
