I made this from IKEA shelves. Like these:


It's semi-hollow. The F-hole on the left and the oval shaped hole on the right (will be covered) open up into cavities.

Here it is semi-mocked up. I don't have the pickup routes done yet, nor do I have a pickguard.



I'll be cutting my own pickguard, because I did this in a funny way. Most of these that have the f-hole don't have that silver control panel on the right.

This has turned out to be a very fun project. Ideally, I'd like to learn to make guitar necks, but they're MUCH more complicated than making the bodies. If I can manage making the necks, I plan to make a copy of my bass out of oak, I'd like to also make an oak jazzmaster. If those turn out well, I might try to make an archtop guitar, but those get even more complicated. A Jazzmaster with f-holes might be fun too.
