So a year ago I begged, borrowed, and stole (not so much of the stealing though) my way to getting this body off the showcase before someone else snatched it up. At the time I was jobless and looking for a new city to move to.
So last Spring I finally got that job, and then I saved up some money and picked up a neck and some other parts.
Well, after sending the neck off to Cagey-land for some fretwork, inserts, and a nice burnishing, I got it back and finally got everything assembled over the past few days. And gall-darnit this thing is amazing. When I'm not playing it, I find it hard to do anything else because I keep wanting to stare at it.
So here's the specs:
Body:
Black Korina on Black Korina LP
Chambered
Countoured heel
BKP Abraxas, neck and bridge (with Tyger covers)
Two volume, one tone, and one Humbucker control pot
Neck:
Wenge/Ebony '59 roundback
Pearloid binding
Compound radius
Stainless steel 6150 frets
And the part you really came into this thread for, the pictures.
