I've made 4 guitars to date, really expensive hobby but very very rewarding. I had a blackmachine clone that I had to scrap once near completion. I had a router bit just out of the router and maul where my pickup cavity would be. /facepalm It was a neckthough though so it was ruined lol.

Anyway, nice detail on those bindings. Looks great.
