Roasted Swamp Ash Soloist

[rlefty]

My lastest build; not quite done yet as I'm waiting on its final neck. Roasted swamp ash body with a tobacco burst finish. EMG retroactives, John Mann tremolo.

Nice work - I really like that!

Very nice.

And also I thought later yesterday after replying to the recessed Gotoh 510 thread that another tremolo option which may work well for you would be a Vegatrem. They offer left handed here is the link to check them out (no recess needed)

That's a handsome axe.  Nice work.  Solid choices all around.  And well executed.

Looks good. Is the pickup height adjustable?

Hi everyone, sorry I hadn't seen any of your responses. Thanks for all the kind words. I actually fitted a Gotoh 510 on it now, which required a little bit of filing but works great. Still waiting on the final neck.

To answer the one question: Is the pickup height adjustable? Yes with a but...

The pickup height can certainly be altered (I put foam under the feet) but it requires some physical labor I have them more or less where I want them now, so I'm good. But IMO if you were looking for something with ease of adjustability, a pickup ring would certainly work much better.
