Western Soloist

[Great Ape]

This is a project for a good friend from Florida, the first guy I played with when I was there last winter.
We shared many stages subsequently, and always had a great time doin' it--he always wears a cowboy hat, so I thought this would be a suitable theme for the guitar...

One-piece solid alder...to be loaded with a Duncan 'Cool Rails' in the neck, and a Duncan 'Custom' humbucker in the bridge...

Looking great, so far!  Can hardly see how it turns out!  :icon_thumright:

I always love to see one of your projects come to life!

Man, that is just incredible.  Congrats on the great looking design and talent.

Pre-color...

I'll take one please, just a S.D. JB in the bridge, and a Sustainiac in the neck!

I really like this one Ape. Good choices for pickups too. That's going to be a screamer.

 

[Great Ape]

Thank you kindly, gentlemen...you, too Kevin.  ( :toothy11
