This guitar is one of two that I built last year. I wanted a 360 with a modern, playable neck so I whipped up this little beauty in the basement and used a Warmoth "paddle head" neck.
I cut the cheeks off the head stock and bonded the black walnut sides, then routed a shallow channel up the center and filled it with a black walnut strip. Looks like the real deal but plays worlds better than the 360 I replaced with this guitar!
The guitar below features a Warmoth birdseye maple fretboard and is made from 100 year old black walnut. I hand split the maple to make the binding and did the fretboard inlay with the same black walnut as the body.
These two guitars took about 7 months to build.
