Looks killer! I dig the magnet idea big time Eagle, great thinking and I might take your advice on the Titebond III stuff.
Can't wait to see her up and running. I am super jealous of this thing though man! I would also like to see a mini switch or a push/pull added someday...I'm all about tonality and options!

Yeah, we'll see how she sounds, like it is. I figure I can always change things around later on. I really think though it will sound pretty awesome like it is. It's hard for me, at the moment to put anything else on the body. For me I really, really, like the clean look. But if I think it needs more buttons I'll put them on. I also want to get this up and playing just in case I need to move. If I have to make a move from FL to AZ, It will be some time before I get back up and running again. Plus I have 3 other guitars I am building I would like to get done, but this one is my top priority to get done. I am glad to have such a good feed back on this build. I think it is coming together great!
I had the neck out side again today and it is curing pretty fast. So maybe by the week end I'll have the neck on. I'll see how it's doing by then.

OK!!!! Here she is... All done and playing really, really super good. This has got to be my best scratch build so far! I am so glad I angled the neck on this. In fact form here on out I'm going to angle all my necks. WOW!!! This thing plays so great!!! It's easy on the fingers and the on board over drive is to die for! It did take me short time to get use to the 3 volumes and no tone, but after about 5min she is sounding off really good. Through my Fender Twin the pickups just sing with all the tube sound you can muster up. There is a decal with all the names of all the people who helped make this all possible on the neck plate and try as may I could not get a good enough picture of it. I am going to be doing a whole story on this build and I'll be sending it with all the pictures to John Williams of guitarattack.com He wants to post it on the Guitar Attack website. So any way here she is. I hope you all like her! I can't hardly believe I built such a fine guitar. ;D Again I want to thank everyone who gave the parts, wood, and the confidence, in doing this build! You all don't know what you and this build has done for me. Thanks to all of you. You all have given to me in a way I never dreamed possible! Contributors; Chris Knowles ... cknowles Chris Hosner... hoz John Rollins... kcjewel John McGee... avengers63 John Williams... guitarattack Thanks guys for all the cool stuff you sent for this build. I would also like to say thanks to the rest of you who gave me some good input for this build. Without the input I don't know if I could have come up with such a cool looking guitar design. Thanks to all!!!

Eddie -- Great job! That color is really great, the knob layout is killer, and the decal/headstock combo is awesome! Thanks to all of the Attackers for contributing parts and to you for spending the time and effort on this great build. I will contact you for photos - I want to feature it on the GuitarAttack main site. Thanks again, John

WOW! That guitar looks incredible, I would honestly say it is your finest piece yet. It looks great! I love the design is perfect and the details are all there. I especially dig the burst on the headstock and the person who did your decal did it perfect Eddie!
You have put together a perfect guitar man! I am so impressed right now! Absolutely fantastic job Eagle!

Great build Eddie! Its pretty cool how a bunch of mismatched parts can create something so special. I'm glad you like the overdrive. You get to position 4 or 5 and that thing really kicks in with some wild gain. Glad we could keep you busy. John and the crew

This is for sure your best one Eddie!
And like John said: It's amazing how those mismatched parts can become a great looking guitar!

For me that is what made this so interesting... it was the parts and what to do with them. It was exciting to see the parts come in and wondering how I was going to use them. I think I have enough parts that I didn't use on thins to start or finish one more guitar. Once I get another router I'll more than likely try and get my neck through done. I can't wait to here that one sound off! Thanks guys for all good feed back on this build. I hope I inspired some of you to start building guitars. If there is anything I can help any of you out with (that I can do) let me know. I am always glad to help!

Yes this guitar is really special in a lot of ways. The P90's with the stacked coils in the middle really gives this guitar a sound of it's own. I wish I had a way to record it so I could post some sound bites but I just don't have anyway to do that. But I like blending all 3 of the pickups together. Like I said she has a sound or tone of her own. A lot of fun to play. It almost like the parts were meant to be together. The neck feels good the action is good. I don't know but for me it is my best so far or it just worked out that way. This guitar has and always will have something that no other guitar will ever have... Can you tell me what that is???

Yes it has that Guitar Attack MOJO!!! HE! HE! Plus it's more than that!
This guitar just feels so good in the hand and it hangs off the shoulder and does not move around on you. It is balanced.
