So its been QUITE a while since I've checked in here... finished a few run of the mill guitars (strats and tele's mostly) since I've been here last. I've got a few of my own designs in the works but in the mean time I decided I really wanted to build a firebird. It was fun for me because if the first one I've done things like shape the neck, fret job, inlays ect. Nothing major around here but gotta start somewhere right.
Anyways this is how it turned out.
(thats the old rear cover, the new one is a nicer laid up piece of carbon fiber)
It was almost kind of a shame to paint this one... african mahogany sure can be pretty
Specs:
African Mahogany
Scarf jointed headstock, 1.66" width at the nut
Bolivian Rosewood (pau ferro apparently) fretboard
StewMac Wide/Medium wire
MOP inlays
Kent Armstrong Pups wired with 3 volumes, middle pup volume isn't effected by the switch
blah blah blah
Anyways, thats that. A lot of fun and my new #1 around the house.
