Early autumn is always a good time for a build challenge. Shortening days mean there’s more time in the evenings from September to November, and less going on at weekends too. So before Christmas gets in the way let’s have a guitar related challenge!
It has to be a personal challenge. Inevitably someone will want to build a guitar. Someone will want to modify one. Someone will want to get a soldering iron out. Everyone tinkers with their pedal board. There must be at least one person who wants to start recording. Set your own target. The only constraint is that it has to contain some element that you’ve not done before.
As usual we need challenge threads, with pictures. The notional winner will be the person who writes the most entertaining thread.
What’s your challenge going to be? Me, I’m going to make another headless guitar. So far I’ve bought a truss rod and tuners.

Is the "element that you've not done before" going to be a headstock on the headless guitar ???
It will be a hardtail Strat body, H/S pickups, no scratchplate, no comfort carves with a London Plane top, single push/push or pull/push volume pot/pickup selector, no tone, a left hand Tele neck which I will refret and a first for me a stained burst finish.
@FatPete will make the body
So, I guess Im in!
I do need to get it painted while the weather holds though!
No.

Will it be faux-stuffed? Or faux-dead? Or perhaps faux-present?
Maybe the cabinet won't really be there? Or perhaps it will be a closed box (faux display) and then we'll never know whether there's anything at all in there.
Unless it squawks.
