yeah im building/built a guitar, I would say its 95% complete and folio is about 50%

my guitar looks like this

Wow, looks great!
How did u make the body and what is it? Were you worried at all that you would loose tone with plastics?
I bought my body and my neck. lol but i made a fair few changes to the body and painted it and everything. My main concentration was on my innovative part, the little amp i am biulding into it. theres a pic on my website http://bsto.tk.
My pickguard took Ages to make and just yesterday i was drilling out hoels for the pots and bam it SNAPPED on me!!! this close to finish, not happy at all, it was glue together job this one.
folio is prob about 30% and guitar 70%
lot of work to do this week. :S

The body is $500 worth of acrylic (Perspex) LOL. I wasn't worried about tone but more the resonance of notes. Acrylic is extremely brittle and hard (bullet proof), If all goes well the string will be on today ;) !! man the folio is HARD!!!
