The Great Guitar Build-off
David Spiers
I am a hobbyist guitar builder. I have built a few guitar bodies but this is the first time I will be attempting a full scratch build. I will be building a Tele style guitar with a few twists. I will have an arm contour and a flamed maple cap that will follow the contour. The neck will be flamed maple with a Lacewood fret board. The last design feature will be installing the neck pickup and the controls from the back leaving as much as possible of the flamed maple exposed. I have been watching Ben for many years and would not have dreamed doing something like this if it were not for his inspiration.
