Not in several years and I've never built one from scratch like some here. If I were to make a slab P, it would be assembled from components as much as possible.

You bet.  The one major refin I did took me a year by the time I got around to each piece of the work.  I think the spray job took me two weeks.  Most of my time to work on projects comes in 15-30 minute increments, including setup.

Well, a Fender IS just a bunch of components.  The fun is in picking/finding the right ones and assembling and tuning your hot rod.  I have around a dozen or so and only 1 has all the same parts it had when it came from the factory.

Right. I already have some of them. I haven't checked to see if anyone is offering a slab body at a reasonable price, but I can always make one.

The first spring project I have planned is reworking/reconfiguring some kitchen cabinets. That will keep me busy.
