Completed Masterpiece

I think it's safe to say that not many people either my age, at the Bay, or anyone in general have not taken the time to build an electric guitar from the ground up. Now that it is all finished I have an extreme sense of accomplishment. When I plugged it in to my vintage amp for the first time, there was no sweeter sound than to hear the magnificent tone bursting into my ears. The experience was truly amazing and without a doubt something I will never forget. This is my most prized possession and I hope that everyone can one day have that same feeling.

Laying On the Strings

After much patience, time, and effort it is finally ready for the strings. I start out with a set of #9 strings which is one of the thinnest because the neck and the body have not had a chance to get used to any pressure yet so I needed to be as gentle as possible. This scared me at first because when you fully tune a guitar to E it's an insane amount of pressure on the neck that most people don't notice. If my guitar neck wasn't securely fashioned then there would be the possibility of it folding up and breaking the neck.
