I've never built a guitar
I've never built a guitar before, but I do have a shop full of woodworking tools and experience building things. So I decided to build a tribute guitar to one of my musical icons, James Hetfield of @metallica
Modeled after his Ken Lawrence Explorers, I built this out of mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. Check out my first attempt at building a guitar, and let me know what I can do better for my next guitar build!
Thanks for the inspiration to the following people:
