Hello everybody!!!! been busy working on many guitar projects.
Here is one:
some of you might have seen it before we are working on a neck for it and building our own bridge for it etc...
But have decided to ask you people what do think I should do as for pickups,wiring schemes should it have a pickguard or not? and even scale length etc...
Your guys ideas and input would be greatly appreciated!!
