a blood wood fingerboard.

I think is sounds great although is propally the heavest guitar I have ever picked up. I had to make the body with 7/4 stock because of the floyd rose.

Love the colour, not so sure about the headstock.

The body could have been smaller to reduce weight, looks slightly wide to me. The first few guitars i built were quite oversized and with some unsuitable wood choices made very heavy guitars. Sounded great, but not overly comfortable!!
