I'm building a custom solid body electric for my guitar teacher. His studio is called "Delaware Guitar School". The guitar body is in the shape of the state of Delaware. I took into account the weight, proportions, strap connection points, and general principles of a tele style guitar. I am calling it a "Delacaster".
Body is a slab of Delaware cherry, neck was salvaged from an Ibanez.
Progress photos show rough sanded body and neck attachment.

Re: Delacaster
It will probably stay in the studio.

Re: Delacaster
Lucky it wasn't Maryland! That'd be some tough carving.

Re: Delacaster
Maryland would be a bugger. Alaska, too.
