im definately planning a different bridge.

got all my black hardware in. i managed to break  my tremelo arm  sometime in the past  week  so I may be  going  with a different tremolo.

yeah im kinda leaning  towards the fat bastards

well when i had called them they said they could  probably do a koa  top  but it was  at  a  shallower carve. it was after my call that  i realised they advertised it offered it on maple/ash/alder. i dunno im kicking around wenge  so Ill probably call them  back and  maybe  get a more...

powder.

we used denatured alcohol.

Well  i woulda  never thought of it  but my friend  has  apparently done this a few times  before and he suggested it. but i was very  suprised  at how well  it works  against the grain of the wood.

:headbang1:

ya  I couldnt be happier with it.

Well I actually made this a long  time ago  and  it sat  around with the body unfinished. recently a buddy and me  stained and cleared it(with a hint of blue pearl too). Barden blades liptish single and humbucker. Also  im changing the pickguard to black soon.

I am looking for  a hot p90 sound.  i play mostly blues but I wanna make  a guitar  with a little less twang than my  swamp  ash tele w/barden blades. i am planning on  a  hollow body VIP  with  a black korina body and a wenge neck/fretboard on a 24 /34 scale. its  gonna be a raw finish ...

im looking at the  riogrande  and lindy fralin p90s. any others I should be considering?
