Alright guys--
My black korina tele deluxe that I posted here a couple weeks ago isn't done yet, but of course I'm planning out something new. I just think great big hollow bodies like a gibson L5 :toothy12: are so sexy. So here's what I'm thinking (I'm not going for classic gibson archtop tone)
Black korina hollow L5s body with... flame maple? spruce? suggestions?
total vintage all-rosewood neck with no inlays
Two P90s
Not sure about the lam top wood. Also, I want a huge warm-but-still-crisp sound. Do you think this wood combo sounds a little too warm? Maybe stainless frets would help? I've never used them before.
And what do you think for bridge? TOM and classic archtop.... TOM and bigsby.... recessed TOM and string thru (is that even possible here?)
Thanks guys
