It took me about 5 months during high school wood shop and various weekends to shape the wood, route, biscuit, hammer, saw, plane, wire, solder, and document the whole process. In the end however it was worth every second of time and drip of sweat lost to this process. Still have not had any problems except for a loose tone knob easily fixed.

Post a snap! I'd love to see what it looks like.
