That's a big chunk o wood you got there. Are you planning on making the whole thing from scratch? Are you making the neck?

Anyway, welcome and keep posting progress reports.

Looks good... should check out this guys project. Probably my favourite Jag-stang / bronco-esqe project I've seen.

Not so keen on lower jag switch and feel the body is a bit too accentuated... but I really like it.

Great start. That body has great grains.

AGW is expensive, did you have to have all that cash up front or was there government student loans available? Are you local to Atlanta, or just here for the classes.

Good luck with the project.

This is Cross guitar, I love it to death. Is it me or is that forearm contour sift? It looks rigid. I like my forearms to roll into the guitar top, not be sliced into the top... it may just be the photo

That's fantastic. I would prefer a different trem/bridge, but otherwise perfect!

I like the color on that^ i'm thinkin of doin mine fiesta red matching headstock and a cream pickguard. Im gonna have a p-rail in the bridge with a mustang style 3 way(to switch betwwen the prails' settings) right beneath it... Anyone ever have any experience with a p-rail?

I was born/raised in New Rochelle, NY

When you finish that guitar up soon, you need to demo it with a few of us Atlanta SS members at my place.... sun, pool, grill & beers
