Description Dear Haruko,

Why must you carry an expensive guitar and make it weirder by having the flipped version? Even with all the cash I have, I cannot get myself the model off the rack for you! So I make one myself

Again started off with tons of references from original model to the one in the series. Her guitar was mostly the original Rickenbacker 4003 except it was a flipped version. For the colours, sometimes the body is blue with a white strip on the bottom, sometimes the white strip is right smack in the middle of the body thickness. The neck is sometimes brown entirely or partially yellow. MEHHH.

I procrastinated and again, left myself with less than 2 weeks to start from scratch and finish my guitar. The blueprint was alot more difficult to draw because there was no official dimensions to rely on, and I want the guitar to be proportionate to my built. I printed and pieced together a first draft, although it was the exact size by the most reliable dimensions I found, it was a little too big for me to handle, so I sized it down

There were difficult parts like pre-planning the nuts and bolts part for the guitar because they had to authentically hold the guitar strings and also bridge the support between the straps to the guitar itself.

blah blah blah - too much afterthoughts about it -

The guitar was completed in time and weigh just about as much as a real bass Fails. props are suppose to be ..more..lightweight?

EPIC this is something serious

You know,(you actually don't know but) I'm gona be a luthier, and going to spend most of my time with electrical guitars (and spent already) and it's quite admirable, that you did this by yourself looks real cool it took me months to build my real guitar (and i haven't paint it yet)

so you are awesome
