Hey there everyone.

Due to the latest trend on GMC of re-painting and re-making guitars (scalloping necks etc), I became encouraged to start my own little project.

In some years I want to build my own guitar from scratch, but I don't really have the money for that now, I believe. So that will have to wait some years.

What I'll be doing for now is just to remake my very first guitar, which is/was a Hohner Stratocaster Copy, which I haven't used for many, many years. It has just been in the closet collecting dust.

I don't know what this project will end up with, but it doesn't really matter - the guitar almost couldn't get any worse.

Anyways: Here is my starting point... feel free to laugh, but please don't comment too much. laugh.gif
