Great looking guitar man. As Wayne and Garth said "We're not worthy" Really impressing. I'm starting a PRS SC build pretty soon and noticed that in one of the pics you planned the top thinner. Is it 19mm when starting or 19mm after!? I have about 14mm thick bookmatched maple and would love to be able to pull of the PRS style carving with faux binding. But I'm not sure that 14mm is enough, so I'm considering using curly maple binding found on stewmac. Looking forward to see it after its stained.

Found some thicker maple today. Regarding suppliers in the US... Found some reeeally nice tops there but shipping them here costs more then the wood itself. It's like 50-60$ shipping and than I have to add a tollfee (3%) and on top of that tax (25% on the total amount...) I'll post updates on the build, just have to finish the CAD drawing first

Sorry if I hijack your thread a bit. I'm looking at building a PRS Singlecut (Tremonti-look-alike). I have 1pcs Mahogany for the body and 1pcs mahogany for the neck and head. The problem is that here in Sweden it's a little hard to get nice flamed mapletops... I found one nice but its a little thin, only 1/4". Following this thread and lots of google-ing made me believe that 3/4 is the "correct" thickness to use. The plan is to use maplebindings instead of the faux-binding, in that case I can carve all the way (almost) to the mahogany. Singlecuts doesn't have the same carvedepth as the regular PRS right!?! I looked at bending the top but... Any ideas guys? Second and last option is to use the european maple I have (2" thick) and make a solid color btw This looks like a nice build, I'll follow it!!
