oooooo.  I've been seening that laminate as a selection in the custom builder for a while, interesting to see it after it's been finished.  Very nice indeed.

 

[LushTone]

Yea I know what you mean. But this body was conceived back in 2010...It is a wild maple unique choice top though.

Great looking top, what's the thing where the volume pot normally goes ?

Thank you, I think so too.

The black thing is just a low profile metal knob. It's able to go extra low by allowing the volume shaft to go through it; it locks down with a set screw. This is my alternative to a Delonge style volume pot rout, and you can find it on Allparts. :icon_thumright:

Ok thanks, so it's to stop knocking the volume knob I guess. Interesting device.

Yea it's clear from contact when palm muting the high strings..

Ok, so not just to avoid knocking the volume knob.


Personally I palm mute lower strings and the left hand tends to quieten the higher strings not that I've really analysed it. But the strat volume knob I like to use for violining, I guess I've used them for so long now I got used to it. But it has to be workable for the Player so I'm always interested in what others use for different things.

 

[LushTone]

Oh ok, gotcha. Yea its only purpose is to be lower and out of the way.

Thanks! I can definitely appreciate your Paul with the awesome trans black also!

I spent a long time on this build, and even changed my order at one point. It was originally gonna be this neck on a swamp ash body with a Mary Kay white. But I went all out and got the wild maple and tigers eye to match the neck color. Go big or go home sometimes.

 

[Surf n Music]

I missed this one too. That neck is ridiculous at how well it goes with that body. Love the fret board. Nicely done!!
