Kjell has talked about making a guitar from wood for quite some time now and here is his beautiful creation!
He's still tweaking it, but it's almost finished now.
Here's what he wrote about it on his FaceBook page:
"Since
 so many people are making their own guitars,  the time had come for me 
to make one. Since I'm not so much fond of a pure electrical guitar a 
combination of acoustic/electric would be the thing. Fender had made a 
few good looking acoustic/ electric guitars. I found an image of one of 
their guitars I liked and then went to the drawing board. I didn't want 
to make a copycat so I made a few changes. It's mainly the body that is 
most lookalike. Material used: African Mahogany for the body and the 
neck, Maple for the top and Curly Maple for the fretboard. There are 
three pickups installed: Fleor tele pickup, Ultrathin pickup for the 
saddle and a 50mm Piezo pickup. The control is an IKN switch control. 
All cheap stuff just in case. 
 I will thank Scott Hamel  for many good tips during my building 
process. If I build one more I will change few measurments. It's  not 
always that eye measurements work well. 
 And, yes, it works and the sound is pretty good. 
"
Very cool!
