Woods arrived last Friday, got some things done with only a few minor glitches so far. Spent almost a whole day drilling the control holes, but they turned out perfect... So far so good. And took some pics finally too.
Was surprised how much weight the PW tuners added to the neck, after those went on it is a little neck-heavy. Maybe once all the controls and the bridge are in it'll balance out again.
Wenge back/ rosewood top (hollow)
Wenge neck/ macasser ebony FB (59 roundback)
This thing sounds like a drum when you tap it, super resonant, exactly as I'd hoped.
Made a rosewood control cover out of some veneer, looks cool with the wenge back, although I chewed up a bit of the wood drilling the counter-sink screw holes... (sorry no pictures of the back)
