The Arsenal- SG

[Cletus]

Received in the mail on Friday afternoon (not a bad way to end the week).

Black Korina SG.

Also received a few weeks ago is the Wenge/Pau Ferro neck.

Looks great!

That pointed bridge matches the pointed SG nicely. :icon_thumright:

What are you doing for a finish? Flat black spray-paint, obviously. :icon_jokercolor:

I was seriously tempted to do an SG with a recessed TOM for my current project. But in the end I figured a good chunk of what I hate about Gibsons is the balance point and the way the 12th fret hangs about 2 frets too far out to the left, and so I went with the Strat body. But... sweet guitar, and it gives me a twinge of not quite remorse (cause I love the SG's looks).

Yeah, as soon as I saw that bridge I knew she was for me. 

Ha! I've been down the auto parts already

No, tru-oil is where I'm headed.

It's the metallic cousin of the J-200 bridge!

Cletus, you keep popping up luscious pix of that wood and people like Fernando will have a seizure! :toothy11:

 

[SustainerPlayer]

Mighty nice planks.  :glasses9:

 

[rapfohl09]

Wooooowww. Totally worth the wait right? :icon_thumright:

 

[Disco Scottie]

Finally some Schroeder bridge action! Looking forward to hearing your opinion on it, as I have a future build planned that will use one.

 

[Cletus]

Wooooowww. Totally worth the wait right? :icon_thumright:

Yes indeed sir, even despite my impatience!

 

[Nando Vallart]

Jeez man, stop bumping this thread... makes me sad :sad:

 

[DangerousR6]

Other than the purplheart top, my Billy Bo is the same combo..Wenge/pau neck and black korina body... :icon_thumright:

 

[nexrex]

A really beautiful piece of korina. Whats your plan for a finish?

 

[taez555]

Wow, that korina wood grain is sick!!  The 2nd pic almost has the look of fur.  It looks soft.

Awesome and congrats!  Can't wait to see it completed.

Nex, Tru-oil, based on the results that Troubled Treble got with his Strat. Coincidentally, he's made one of the pickups I'll be using.

Black korina is amazing!

It looks great natural, and looks great with trans colors.
