Well this one took a while:
When I say a while, I got the body over a decade ago. It was an impulse body purchase when the W was phasing out true lam tops and going double lam.
I tossed and turned over multiple aspects, not to mention multiple job changes and wives. LOL
But it is 99.99% done. I don't know where the rear route cover is and I don;t care. Once I take them off, I rarely put them back on. Can't find the vibrato bar, so ordered one that should be here Thursday. Couldn't find the dressed nut I already had, so had a new one put on. Also couldn't find the rosewood truss rod cover I had bought for it.
It's a 2nd gen VIP, so full depth lam top with dished controls. Hog body (transparent brown) and flame maple top (yellow dye).
Neck is a modern Vortex, Gibby scale, in all rosewood. It is scalloped from fret 5 up by DC Custom Guitars. Frets are SS 6100s. Fret work, burnishing and the lost dressed nut were done by Cagey.
Hipshot open gear locking tuners. Wilkinson VS100N vibrato.
Pups are:
Neck - Zhanggbucker Pagey 2
Bridge - Zhangbucker O-Bucker
Both are pure wound and with the Splat option (activated by push/pulls. Neck by Vol, Bridge by tone).
The Splat option is a full coil of a humbucker plus a portion of the other coil. Not fully HBing, but not fully lame like some split humbuckers.
Schaller S Locks to keep everything connected.
It's late for me, so here are the best pics at the time.
