Jester Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
