This is my third guitar in the past year I have built for a customer (meaning not mine, and I unfortunately dont get to keep it).
It has a les paul shape body, 1 3/4" thick with an african mahog back, 5/16" curly maple cap (book matched as I resawed it myself). Three ply bound top, thin creme/thin black/thick creme and the markerless ebony board (24 5/8 scale, 22 medium high frets) is also bound the same.
The neck is three piece curly hard maple with a volute and an ebony 1 pc peghead veneer.
Body is contoured in the back.
Clear catalyzed lacquer finish, black/dark blue burst on the top.
The hardware is a Duncan 59 in the bridge, overwound PAF in the neck with a single volume, three way switch and a kill switch as per the customers request. Gotoh tom bridge and tailpiece. Grover mini tuners, graphtec nut. two way rod (stew mac hotshot) Neck is bolt on with no back angle.
I really really like this one. It is hard making a guitar for sale IMO, as I have to be more fussy (when I am doing it for me, I go fast and I tend to not worry too much about little imperfections - I tried to make this one near perfect as I could) and also I dont want to give it up!
Anyhow, here are some pics. Now maybe that I have no more electric projetcs on the table, I can get to work on my archtop!
