Updated! Gibson SG Tribute - Diamondback Body + Vortex Neck

[fingolfen]

Now 100% done! Custom pickguard, truss rod cover, and toggle switch plate finally all came in!!!!  :headbang:

Final updated details at the blog: https://steggostudios.blogspot.com/2022/01/p90-sg-custom-build-finally-finished.html

I'm calling this one 90% done - but waiting for some bits and decisions. Warmoth Diamondback body, Vortex neck. Fralin P90s, Ratio Tuners, and Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys. StewMac Golden Age SG pots, though rewired with a Les Paul toggle to fit through the body.

Waiting on: custom truss rod cover, custom toggle switch plate - and I'm trying to decide whether I want to do a Gibson SG standard pick guard - then I have to figure out maker's mark and serial number.

Diamondback Options:

• Solid mahogany construction (as that's what Gibson uses for the SG)
• Right handed (because I am...)
• Neck P90 Rout
• Bridge P90 Rout
• Controls set up in SG configuration
• Bridge and Stop Tailpiece Routs
• Studs for Bridge and Tailpiece pre-installed

Vortex Options:

• Maple shaft and headstock
• Indian Rosewood fretboard
• 12" Radius
• 22 Nickel Frets
• Abalone dot inlays (went with the green of the body)
• Abalone side dots (went with the abalone dot inlays - naturally)

...but enough of that - here's a 90% finished photo:

I've posted the construction details so far on my (entirely personal, non-commercial, very unofficial, low traffic) blog: https://steggostudios.blogspot.com/2021/11/gibson-sg-with-p-90-tribute-custom-build.html

Halo Guitars made that one up, but I'm not sure they're still doing just pickguards...
