Strat build. Mahogany body, wenge/macassar ebony neck. Kahler!

So this is going to be my 'metal' guitar.  :headbang5

Spent a loooooong time on this. Built up the parts for a couple of years as and when I had time/money.

Here's the specs:

Neck: Wenge with Macassar Ebony fretboard. Unfinished. 10-16" compound radius. 'Wolfgang' asymmetrical profile. 1 5/8" nut width. Stainless steel frets. Side inlays only.

Body: One piece mahogany. Contoured heel. Clear satin finish. Warmoth.

Hardware: Kahler hybrid tremolo... it can be locked into a fixed bridge! Schaller S-locks. Kahler nut with integrated string retainer (no need for string trees). Schaller locking tuners (not required but make string changes easier).

Electronics: Seymour Duncan Blackouts, standard model. 3-way switch (Bridge, Bridge & Neck, Neck), with master volume and one tone for each pickup.

Here are the pics:

Fretboard grain is more easily seen without strings:

Beautiful guitar, nicely spec'd out and well-built. You must be very happy!

Man that fretboard is gorgeous

Very happy with it.

The ebony fretboard with stainless frets is very smooth. The action is also quite low, with no buzz... I think the compound radius helps.

Love the Kahler too.

Shazam!  That's a lovely, I daresay elegant expression shred guitar builder's art.  Great choices all around.  But that fingerboard just sends me.  So nice.

Beautiful guitar. That neck is truly amazing.

Cool guitar!  Strat shape, with a Kahler.. very Jerry Cantrell-esque, and that ain't a bad thing.  :icon_thumright:
