Caramel and Chocolate

[willyk]

Swamp ash and rosewood, caramel and chocolate. :icon_scratch:
My drummers little girl came up with the description, she's only four. The bridge pickup is a JB and the neck a SD Hot P90. The color came out as I'd hoped. I used clear satin "Cabothane" with some stain mixed in that I had left over from a maple neck I put on my fiesta P bass. I don't know if I will leave it as is or play around some more. It's a nice simple guitar to tear to pieces.

And before you ask how does it sound?......Upside Down! :evil4: :evil4: :icon_jokercolor:

The first pic. is truer to the real color, I'll shoot some outside 1st chance

I already have a couple of guitars with wrapover bridges and I wanted this one to be different to other LP types, hence the strat hardtail.

Man... How many guitars you make is how many beautifull guitars come to life...
Keep going!

(Do you sell that guitars or are they ordered before you build?)

I really like the look of this guitar...good work.
The only thing I would change is having the pickups matching colours - but I think that is more of a personal thing. Still looks fantastic.

You hit the nail on the head.

It may get a bit chilly, but then you only need a coat and is fine. Today still winter, i was walkin' around in a T shirt and shorts.

Not my kin of guitar, but it looks nice and 'vintage'

I love the neck though, i wish i had it.
