This is it.

i believe the total in materials was above a hundred dollars. i didn't really keep track.

tools included this build cost around 500 bucks.

I love it. What pickup is that again, and what's the scale length?
It's really awesome looking.
(How the hell did you manage to make me want one of these? seriously though I want one.)

And I'm waiting for a vid.

^Im waiting on Youtube.. :sad:

the scale length is 26 inches. that gives me a perfect 13 inches at the 12th fret. But since i measured the fretboard when i was planning on 25.5", i lost two frets in the process. Oh well no biggie.

the pickups was ripped out of my old Washburn WG-587. that will be getting a new neck soon.
