It's finally finished! And I've gotta say, it plays better than any Gibson I've tried. It might not sound like a big all-mahogany LP (mine has no mahogany at all), but it does sound great! Its been in the works for a long time, but totally worth it.
Body: Black korina body with a two piece maple cap
thin one piece maple veneer over that (maybe 1/8" thick)
stunning finish by our very own Tonar
Neck: maple neck with ebony fretboard
ebony peghead veneer
finish by Tonar (feels great!)
Pickups: SD '59 neck in the bridge and a Seth Lover neck model in the neck. The 59 sounds really good in the bridge, despite it being designed for the neck position. Great balance between these two pickups. A wiring kit from RS Guitarworks.
Pictures!
My original idea
And the finished product
:icon_biggrin: Couldn't be happier! Like the Warmoth addict that I am I had already started to plan my next build, but now I don't know what the hell I want! :icon_scratch: This thing covers a whole lot of bases. Looks like my next purchase better be an amp to keep up!
Also, the finish really changes depending on the angle and the light. I'll try to get out my real camera and get some decent shots sometime soon, but it's sunny for the first time in a few days, so I decided I'd better get some pictures now. Hope you enjoy!
