Pretty easy for the basics and to get playing.  Have a look around here.  It really only takes one string, to have fun. Start there and come on.

@Oily - Gary Sinise?  You trying to a date or something!

Thanks for the comments.  I'm really happy with the sound.  Starting another guitar build today for the other pickup I wound.  I'm going to raise the fretboard slightly so that I can move the pickup closer to the neck position.  I'm finding that I bang into it where it's at now, esp. when palm muting.

@jeff - Everybody has had time to get up and out of bed by now.  Bet I can get a neighbor to call or come knocking in under 30 minutes.  And, I bet it won't be to sit in or listen :-)
