Thanks. No concrete plans as yet but fancy trying an acoustic or hollow body for a bit of a different challenge. I like to do everything the hard way so might try to incorporate a few technical difficulties like custom inlays, binding, laminated neck etc into a tele copy (always wanted one but never had) to up my skills a bit. Also very nearly made my own tuner button this time so almost certainly will on the next. For the time being though just going to enjoy playing this for a while.

Well done, I'd be happy with that. I'm sure it'll be the first of many.

Just a little follow up for those who helped me along the way, and anyone else who may be interested.

Although this has taken me about 9 months from starting the research, I have had 3 weeks of evenings to myself for a final push to get this finished. Although there are a few mistakes, I am super happy with how this turned out for my first build. Can’t wait to make the next one!

Welcome to the forum @electricstringtheorygmail-com. Whew, that’s a big name!

I like the look of the guitar, it reminds me of a Blueshawk but I definitely like the second one better, great job!

Thanks guys, looks like that’s the one! Think I am already addicted, just need to get the mrs on board and maybe find somewhere better than the kitchen in which to work!
