My homebuilt electric guitar (Samba)

I have always wanted a chance to build a guitar to see if it helps you really connect with it. I found a company called Grisly Industrial and they make these guitar building kits. Basically you assemble it yourself and do your own finish. They no longer sell this particular kit, but they do make several others.
It took about 2 months to build and finish. Final product sounds and looks great and was a lot of fun to build.... and the answer is, yes, you can really connect to a guitar you build yourself.
