KNE 5150 Guitar Build - The Good, Bad and the Ugly

This was a fun project. I have been trying to fill the gap in my Van Halen Replica guitars for my Tribute band, Diver Down in Western New York. I have been watching some really great builders make these over the years and decided that either I have one made or make one myself. I’m too cheap to pay anyone to do the work - lol. Although the builders I know do a far superior job than what you will witness in this video from me.
