Thought of you when I read about this: Roger Daltrey of The Who came up in a discussion in the What are You Listening to Now thread the other day. I listened to their music but didn't know much about him other than his microphone antics, so I thought I'd look up some details on him for the heck of it. Along the way I discovered that way back in the day he build his first guitar out of plywood. Couldn't afford to buy one. The first was an acoustic for himself - I think that would be difficult. Anyway here's a short story on his guitar building in the "First guitars" section: www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/misc/rd.html

All's I know is don't drill the bridge holes until you know where the neck's pointing. You can have a bridge that looks off from the design but can't play strings that aren't over the fingerboard.

How's that guitar coming along Ocean....any progress pics yet? Likely not any progress until sometime next year. Ran through life’s savings trying to treat my dog’s cancer and I’ve got no money for tools and supplies. This is on hold probably for another year.

Sorry to hear about your dog... Thank you. He was a great one. Had such a great prognosis but he turned on a dime unfortunately.

If you're kicking around some alternate designs for your guitar, here's some ideas for customization:
Eric made the list as #23
We should help Buck contemplate an alternate custom one too. Something where you need quick fingers with precise control. :) Maybe start off with something like #9. Granted a LOT of work would need to be done to go to a headless electric with humbuckers. I have no clue how the pickups and the TransTrems could be arranged. But the end product could present some new opportunities and challenges to get some additional signature sounds. And I'll bet with the necessary modifications I mentioned it would end up a LOT weirder than the referenced original #9 one!
