It was going to be called skipocaster but thought that was lame so called it Skip as all the timber was out of a skip. It has been an on off project since feb/march time due to work being busy. Cost just over 90 quid including some postage for hardware, varnish, screws ect. Was going to go all out on the electrics but i settled for good average set up as i only play at home. Wilkinson pickup's, which are surprisingly good.

Anyway, there you go. Surprised that for once i have actually finished a project that i started, anyone with a trade will tell you the having to do other peoples work all day really doesn't give you the best enthusiasm to do yours when you clock off :roll:.

*sorry i have a pixel out on my camera

That looks amazing. I've got a mate who's a luthier (guitar maker) so I know how difficult it is, especially getting the frets in exactly the right place.

Looks crap.

Nice work feller , will probably need a few tweaks once it has settled in . Usually need a fret dress once the neck has settled down and the truss rod is adjusted to the correct relief .

And I get my lounge and dining table back :)

Sounds very good though ;)
