It's taking quite a bit of time to get everything for the Super Easy Series together, but I hope to have two different body shape plans ready for purchase in the next few days. Each guitar shape will be available with either a hardtail, a standard tremolo or a Floyd Rose tremolo. You'll also be able to choose from a variety of pickup configurations.
The drawings are done, but I have to set up the web pages on my eGuitar Plans site. As it turns out, with all of the options, there are 15 ways you can order each plan. For two different guitar bodies, that means 30 choices. Plus, each plan will come with three files; a full size, a tiled letter and a tiled A4.
As you might imagine, this is going to take a little time to organize and push live. Hopefully early next week.
Oh, and the price for one of my Super Easy Series plans? $5. About the cost of a magazine.

The Super Easy Series of Electric Guitar Plans
I'm working on a new idea for a series of plans that will simplify the guitar construction process by utilizing a Stratocaster style replacement neck. The idea is based on the reality that many potential builders want to make their own electric guitar, don't have the skills or specialized tools necessary to make their own neck and fretboard.
What I have in mind is to offer two cool looking body shapes; a single cut and a double cut. After you decide on the shape, you'll select either a hardtail bridge, a standard tremolo or a Floyd Rose® tremolo configuration. Finally, you'll choose either two humbuckers, three single coils or two P90s to satisfy the pickup arrangement for your guitar.
After you finish making the body, all you'll have to do is purchase a Stratocaster style replacement neck, bolt it on, add your components and you'll be ready to ROCK! With so many Strat style replacement necks on the market, including unfinished paddle headstock models, there should be no reason why you can't build the guitar of your dreams with nothing more exotic than a jigsaw and a router.
Below is a screen shot of the two body shapes I plan on offering. Please let me know what you think as your opinions are what inspires me!
