Both the body and neck are from Warmoth. The body is chambered swamp ash with comfort contours and a contoured heel. The neck is maple/rosewood with mother of pearl inlays and 6130 frets. The body and headstock are finished with gloss polyurethane and the back of the neck with satin poly. I did all of the finishing by hand, with a little help from a DA polisher. The pickups are Wilde Pickups L-200TN/L with a 4-way switch. All the rest of the hardware is from Warmoth.
