Current build(lots of pics)

This originally started as sheets of plexiglass from a hockey rink. I have a Danelectro neck to put on it. Next up is f holes and the neck pocket. It sure has been an experience!

I still have a lot left to do but it was pretty much learning on my own to get to this point as far as materials and stuff. Summer house projects took over for a while but I'm hoping to get back to it shortly.

that ought to be quite sweet looking when done! Might be heavy though!

Cool. I seem to remember you asking questions or discussing this project way back. Am I right? Glad to see it coming together.

Right you are! I tried to cut them first but gave up pretty quick on that and went with the router. Then I snapped the shank on a standard bit pretty quickly and moved to a 1/2 in shank. That one also cracked toward the end of what I had to do. Granted they were from Rockler and not intended for plexi but that stuff is hard on bits! I went through two adhesives to find one that worked well (the first flashed off too quickly) and then a TON of hand sanding and wet sanding to get things clear again.

After seeing the Q-tuner in Daemon BBQ's thread I think that would look awesome on here!
