skb558 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Hello Eude, Ash body, Redwood (not lace burl) back. 34” scale, 5 piece flame maple/wenge neck. AI maple fingerboard. Bridge - RFB Humbucker with coil-switching. Neck - PB Humbucker. Both 40mm casing. Shaun Edited December 28, 2020 by skb558 1 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Wow... almost looks like some sort of heavy skin leather... I do hope its gonna be rear routed and you are not gonna need to cover a third of that with a scratch plate. Matching Headstock? Edited December 28, 2020 by PaulThePlug Quote

Yes, rear routed and no scratchplates on these beauties; matching headstock. You’re right, it does look like some hefty leather. There wasn’t enough to do the back as well so that will be ‘plain old’ redwood 😉 with matching backplate. Expecting some pictures of the back from Alan.

PaulThePlug Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) A most pleasant change from the more usual darker woods seen. Inlays or nice and plain? Edited December 30, 2020 by PaulThePlug Quote
skb558 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Nice and plain...ish 👍 Edited December 30, 2020 by skb558 1 Quote
skb558 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Latest pics. 🤗 Edited May 2, 2021 by skb558 6 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Nice... although the latest pics look a little washed out in colour compared to earlier December body n fretboard pics. Can we have another? Edited May 2, 2021 by PaulThePlug Quote
TheGreek Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I imagine that the wood will burst into life with a coat of finish. Don't know about you but I can't wait... 1 Quote
skb558 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Yes, champing at the bit! Once cleaned and lacquered, the woods will really show their true colours. Edited May 2, 2021 by skb558 1 Quote

skb558 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 Yes, Alan sprays the wood to give an idea of the finished article. Quote
