An earlier project from 2005

This is one of my very first projects, which provided a steep learning curve. Thanks to it I have learned a lot, which goes to show that you don't know anything about making guitars until you are actually making guitars.
I picked up the Hofner neck in Denmark Street for peanuts in 2004. I made the body from solid maple, which I thought would be cool at the time. In fact the body is far too heavy and being maple gives it a sharp clucky sound. Having used it a few times, I realiced that the bridge is slightly too far forward, making it very difficult to get the intonation right.



It has been sitting around in my bedroom not doing very much for some time, but the time has come for action. Watch this space.
