I'm gonna try the whole deal. I ordered some thick poplar to practice making the body with. I have 2 pieces of sepele to make necks with. Not thick enough to do a tilt back head stock, but I can get a strat type flat neck, I think. And I have some wenge for the fret board. Not sure if that's long enough. I'm going to a specialty lumber yard on weds to pick up that poplar, so I'll see if he has anything I can use there.

I'm all geeked out over it. Like I do.

Awesome. I have a high school buddy who's been dabbling. It looks like good fun.
