Raffle Guitar Build

Yeah I forgot about the pup routes.  Go custom order I guess.

I don't know... This body is pretty sweet and I hear that those P92's are pretty nice... and if blue doesn't like em, he can change em out for any two of a million humbucker options...

I'm sure W will get him a beautiful piece of RW. They don't really give out boring products, do they? Ask for quartersawn, I guess.

Yeah +1 to this.

I like Markos pick, that's awesome, I expected a higher price for that body,  Theres enough left for a decent neck, and It would look good with a bigsby

I go out for some minutes of Carnival and you guys put me out of the choices... :sad:

Bad guys

Sorry Fernando  :sad:

The polls were more mostly overwhelmingly in favor of one thing or another, except for laminate top.  That was a close race between IRW and Padouk.   

What would you like to see in this L5S?

Relax!
I got 4 days out on Carnival... :laughing7:
I suspect that it would be very forward on the road

I gave this some serious thought.  I finally came to the conclusion that I would be compromising on a basic design point, the sweet P-90's.  It's beautiful, but I just can't do it.


Also, looks like I forgot to post this here.
------------------------------------------------------------
Laminate top: Indian Rosewood - 11 (36.7%)
Fretboard:      Ebony          - 7 (25%)
------------------------------------------------------------
So it looks like a Black Korina body with an Indian Rosewood laminate top, and a Wenge neck with an Ebony board.  Sounds pretty nice!

Probably single F-Hole, P-90's, TOM/Bigsby.



Hmmm...hardware color and knobs is pretty much all that's left.  I don't think you can get a black Bigsby, so its either Gold or Chrome.

A hollow BK L5S body with lamtop costs $397, +$15 for f-hole, +$170 for a clear finish = $582.  A wenge/ebony neck starts at $288.

That comes out to $870.

I'm still ok forking over a the extra to get it right.

I think you're right, don't compromise on the p90s! that is going to be a big part of the vibe!

That is just going to be the ultimate guitar with the ultimate tonewoods!! great team effort!

Have you thought about either 2 or 3 pickups?

 

[dbw]

Well Dan, if you're willing to shell out for looks, the neck and body would look great with ivoroid binding...  :headbang1:

Probably two, three might be a lil crowded.  Cream or Black though?

I gotta find that port you've gotten into, I was just looking at that again.

what do ya think of the cream one my rosewood topped thinline?
I think it would look great with gold hardware!

I'd go for cream.  I like contrast myself.

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Cream! But what headstock?


LP LP LP LP LP LP!  :icon_biggrin:

Also, get the klanch to make you some Indian rosewood back covers for the switch and control cavity.

 

[dbw]

My vote goes to cream and gold... cream P90s, cream LP switch, gold hardware, gold bell knobs.  And cream binding... that would be so tasty... expensive tho

 

[rockskate4x]

cream p-90s and chrome hardware... less expensive but still looks awesome. Whatever you do, don't touch the black hardware...

Did he get a suspension or did he get hit with the ban stick?
