Welcom Igor, and Good luck. Make sure to read the rules so that you don't inadvertantly disqualify yourself. You need to take a picture of your raw wood with the proof sheet before you begin doing any work.

Thanks Roger, I know... Last year I did build Jazz Box Tele in challenge, but I don´t have enough time to finish my projects, so my post was removed

OK, so it's time to introduce to you my plan:
I want build "Snakehead" 1. tele prototype, body from 3pcs pine, hard maple neck without trussrod, 7,25" radius, vintage frets, Kevin Smith´s bridge pickup...


Last challenge I did not finish project, I spend few weeks and many hours with Jazz box Tele. This year I bet on Fastest Completion Category, because my time is limited

Good to see you back as I really enjoyed following your build last year - wonderful skills on display. Did you end up finishing that guitar? If so, I'd love to see some photos. All the best in the challenge.

Nice grain on the pine. I can almost smell it, what a wonderful scent it has!
