The Ivy

Chambered quartersawn one-piece mahogany body.

1" thick bookmatched carved flame maple top.

25" scale flame maple bound ebony fingerboard with jumbo fretwire.

5 piece flame limba and wenge neck with a scarfed, bound and veneered headstock.

Seymour Duncan SH-10 (bridge) and SH-2 (neck) mounted in wenge pup rings.

Gotoh tuners, TOM and tailpiece in gold.

2 volume and 2 tone pots with a 3-way switch and gold knobs.

I finished this one in october last year, but never got around posting here about it until now.

Also note that these pictures were taken around the same time so the backplate has been sorted out.

Here's the build thread: http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=25927

The guitar plays well and sounds warm and punchy so I'm very pleased with the outcome.

It feels very light and comfortable even though it's about 2.5" thick between the pups.

There are a few things I would have wanted to do better, but my time was very limited as I build this

in school as my degree work. I wrote about 20 pages about the build process. The whole project was rated as 5+/5.

Let me know what you think!

I only know Her as DG10......I try, to not get too attached, so She doesn't have a name, but perhaps she could be called Daintree.

She's an excellent Performer, with a broad range, very fast and smooth.
