This picture shows two bodies that have been cut out on the bandsaw. The body on the left is made out of construction framing plywood scavenged from a dumpster. The body on the right is made from ambrosia maple.
This shows the prototype of the 1V6 tube preamplifier that’s battery powered and will be installed inside the instrument along with additional electronics.
This is a plywood mock up of the entire guitar made from a template. These shapes (the neck and body) are the final shapes to be used in the instrument design.
