First build (Pic Heavy)

[jarnozz]

really dig the shape and the stain is very nice! Now add some gold hardware and it's a beauty! nothing more beautiful than a dark stained guitar with golden hardware

That stain looks killer on the neck! Body is looking pretty nice too, but yeah, needs more clamps. They should be a decent chunk of your tool budget.

I feel you guys on the clamps, I have been feeling since the start that I have been lacking in the clamps department. I only have 5 ATM, I bought some of those cheap 24 inch clamps from harbor freight (the ones for like 3 bucks) but have already gone through 3 of them trying to clamp down gluing nice and tight. they break beyond anything beyond (what I am guessing) anything past 10 psi. I will be investing in some straight wood clamps for my next build to make sure that I have no issues arise.
I really am loving the stain on the body and the neck, and am totally feeling the gold hardware. Ebay has a lot of cool hardware for cheap, mostly in chrome, but I am sure I can find some locking tuners in gold for relatively cheap as well as a decent bridge and I am not sure where I am going to go with the bridge. We will see! I really like the way it is coming along though!!!!

Wow, this is really cool, I like the design! Really good job on your first build!

I personally love the stain - especially the neck! Makes the grain stand out beautifully.
Kudos to you good sir!
also +11 clamps, throw some extruded aluminum in there for good measure but noooooooo gold hardware!

Just my zwei pfennig..
