Had to find wood that matches the size i want, it wasen't an easy job since you can't easily find wood with these dimensions so i had to glue 3 woods together to get that square part that you see in the photo

Determining the scale between each fret had much work for me and calculations to be able to do it right, as it determines the notes

Now, since i don't have the tools you can imagine how hard it was to cut this very thick wood by hand.

Then i ordered the electronics from ebay and painted it manually also, since it's a wood contest im not going to add the painting process, ok here's the final images, i hope you like it :)
