Hey! Cool! Did you make the body all yourself or was it once a strat? Like what you've done with the tele style bridge.

I built the body all by myself.. The design is even "mine" ie I missed a few classes and was behind in schedule so I had to come up with something really fast so I took a piece of paper and started drawing the lines. Once completed I saw that it reassembled another guitar but I didn't have any time whatsoever to fix that.. I really wanted two cutouts (both lower and upper). I wanted to modify the body even more by removing more wood making it alot lighter and probably a much more thiner sound.. Think of an acustic guitar.. I almost wanted to get a 50/50 hybrid but still.. Time time time!
I even modified the neck myself and made some minor changes to it. The neck was given to me from my teacher but it had some major flaws as it once was used a "punk rock smasher group" so I couldn't tune the guitar at first but after my modifications it worked great!
thread the strings: This was also put there in a hurry. I had been in Norrland for almost 2 weeks and missed loads of school again and I just had 2 hours to get it fully working and I still hadn't completed the whole electronics in the guitar and I had to forget all about my AMP-project. All because of a girl! Otherwise I would have a much nicer guitar and a really cool AMP to go with it!
And yes, I am a lefty.. (in every way possible..).. I designed that white plastic that is supposed to cover the electronics (I have no idea what the english word for it! - Plektrumskydd in Swedish anyway).
So I built.. about 95% of the whole guitar.. I am pretty satisfied with the result but it doesn't work any more.. Damn attic, destroying me work
