Stolysmaster Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I thought I would post a pic of my latest creation. It's what I call an "Explorer EC Special". Mahogany body back from Gobson's Kalamazoo factory, circa 1980, I bought off ebay about 10 years ago. It warped after coming to Colorado, so I planed it down and put a 1/4" flame maple top on it; total body thickness is 1 5/8" now. The neck was made by Doug Darling at Soulmate for me a couple of years ago; Mahogany with rosewood board and Celtic "Triqueta" inlays, and deep tenon going to the center of the middle pickup. Pickups are Lollar Firebirds for neck and middle, and a Lollar Mini-humbucker for the bridge. Tuners are Planet Waves locking, and the bridge is a Callaham stainless with set screws for locking onto the posts, and it has a 5-way Strat switch, master volume and master tone. All finished in Nitro lacquer. Be sure to click the magnifying icon to enlarge the pic and get a better view! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/Stolysmaster/DSC01840_edited.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/Stolysmaster/DSC01278_edited.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/Stolysmaster/DSC01245_edited.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/Stolysmaster/DSC01276_edited.jpg Edited September 6, 2011 by Stolysmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
