========================================
This build will be as basic as you I can get...I have no woodwork shop...no bench tools like chop saws and band saws....Only a cheap router table That I bought simply for the trussrod channel. All the work will be done in my kitchen and on a garden table using power tools - Drill, Jigsaw, Plane and a welder for the trussrod shortening....The sculpting will be done with rasps, files ,sandpapers and saws.
I will be using the internet for all my information and references. I will be keeping a track of my hours and of the money spent for anyone interested in this build. The hardware for this build will be as cheap as I can get using the internet although I will be using the exact wood types in ALder and Padauk fretboard. The biggest corner I have cut is in the pickups. I could have bought pickups from Rickenbacker (£160 x3 = £480) or expensive copies and may well at a later date, depending on if the build turns out to be good enough but for now I have bought the cheapest copies that are asthetically exactly the same.
I will be including many photos of this build as I have always been frustrated by jumps in others photo progress...This will literally be a step by step progression thread.
This is my first guitar build.

Here is the neck so far....As I say if you want to see all the progression photos thus far then click on the link at the top of this post.
