I thought I was keeping the cost under $100 but after tallying everything in, I went over. So, it looks like I'm disqualified on this one. Most items were scrapped or salvaged. Strap buttons, pickup, truss rod and bridge were new. I will have to replace the volume pot, eventually, since it doesn't turn down properly. The strap wasn't included in the cost but it was a cheap find in the bargain bin at the local music store for $10.00. Still, it was fun watching the builds this year again. Thanks to the MIMF staff for putting it on.
