I have decided to call this guitar Green Death because it's green, the name sounds bad ass and it's a Doctor Who reference.
The main timber used for pianos is poplar , it varies a lot in density and colour .It's usually covered in veneer but in this case I've stripped the veneer. I've chosen dense green wood for this guitar and not just the body.
I was originally only having a bridge pickup but last weekend I had a rehearsal/writing session and found myself using the neck pickup a lot. There will be some contouring eventually.

For the neck I'm using part of an old chest of drawers:
No idea what the wood is but it's plenty hard enough:
For the fretboard I'll be using green poplar again:
I've glued and clamped it over night, I may work on it tomorrow but I have other things on the go...
