Made it in 1991. Nice to see it again. funny..all the comments...all the "experts" got everything all wrong...there sure are a lot of people on the net that think they know everything. anyway it was an interesting build....

Did you make the neck?



I'm very much interested in building one.



If you have any tips and would share them,

would you email them to me?



Thanks for sharing-
