I hope this sort of thing is allowed seeing as it's not a result of Warmoth products but, is a "Work in Progress" just the same.
I have long wanted a guitar with the killer roar of a Gibson SG, but one that didn't suffer from "neck heavy syndrome." So I used an old friends Gibson L6-S to make some templates and added a few mods of my own.
The L6-S is a thin body, maple guitar from the 70's that looks really cool and plays great but, I'm just not a fan of "the maple solid body sound."
My take on this guitar features solid mahogany construction with a 25 1/2" scale and 22 frets. The original had 24 frets on a 24 3/4" scale.
The fret board is fine Indian Rosewood with a Magascar Ebony peghead veneer.
Can't wait to finish this one up and play it!
Body and neck wood with template.
Gluing down the fret board.
Neck ready for shaping.
Body nearly complete, neck still very rough.
Parts placed together. Neck roughed out.
Peghead roughed out.
