I did Onthe hand pick all the materials being used, and draw the body shape. Specs: Bees wing mahogany body Curly maple top Roasted birds eye maple neck Ebony fret board 6100 SS frets Suhr Aldrich pups Gotoh Floyd And planet wave tuners For the body shape , I wanted it to be the same size ad a strat, but have SS look. Neck I love this top And thanks to my good friend RRR customs, progress begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfhmachado Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Still debating on the finish . Either natural ( tung oiled) or just stain the top and HS green. Back , neck and sides would still be tung oiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdshirtman Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nice choice on the black binding. With a piece of wood like that I vote natural or natural with just a hint of green burst around the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
