My streak is unbroken! (There was a tie for 2nd to last this time)

 

[rgand]

Thank you, everyone. I must admit I was a little surprised considering the other entries. There were some beautiful ones in there.

Congratulations rgand.

That was a close run thing between 1st and 2nd this month. I thought the voting may have been more scattered.

Congrats on a VERY CLEAN and I dare to say elegant build. 

I must have missed the thread....how dod you get that body shape?  Did you do it yourself ?

Care to share a template?

 

[rgand]

Thanks, guys.

Dave, the body shape was a Marauder routing pattern from Faction Guitars, modified for the pickups, bridge and pickguard/control plate. Here's the build thread if you're interested.

Bravo.  How does that neck pick up sound?

I particularly like the mod for the side neck adjuster.  I had so do something similar on a build.  Ended up having to drill a hole....what a PIA.

 

[rgand]

The neck pickup is much like most other p-90's. With the Broadcaster wiring, both pickups have better top end so the whole thing is fairly clean and brisk. I will go with broadcaster wiring again. It would probably sound even better with a vintage neck but I just don't want to deal with a heel adjustment.

I see a new featured guitar in the upper corner of the UW pages. Thanks for that.
