She's here!
Background
Meet "Miss Flora Bannerworth", an elegant lady who was bitten by sir Francis Varney (the Vampyre). To find more information on what I'm talking about, these are characters from the book "Varney the Vampyre" dating 1847, and predating even dracula by quite some time. I'm not sure anymore how much time. Officially this is the first "fantasy" novel on vampires ever written. The book is pretty tough going at times, but after I finished it I must say it was pretty enjoyable.
This is the first guitar I did myself fully without help, including fretting, inlay, neck shaping etc. It was a great learning experience for me, and hope to make more and better guitars in the future! (and in a much smarter way )
Specs
woods
Black Korina body.
Maple Neck
LMII ebony fretboard
Flamed maple vineer inlays
Electronics
2 Tonerider H-90 soapbars
1 Vol.
1 Pickup switch knob (not the prs kind, but one that doesn't have three positions, but (I'm not sure if it's the right word) a smooth transition between pickups, with a noticable mid position.)
1 Tone
Sunk jack
Neck joint
Set neck, with ergonomic acces. Basically I can play 24 with my hand in the same sort of position you normally have at lower positions. Normally this would bring down the balance, and the guitar wouldn't exactly qualify, but because of the rear tuners...
Misc.
Flamed maple vineer inlay, stained red. This symbolises the bitemarks and blood drips in the "neck" of Flora. The 3rd and 5th are bitemarks, 7 is recognisable for me because of the drippers. The dripper leaves the neck in a gravity correct angle while playing at the 9th.

(Small edit) It was one huge vampire in my case, at least he had a big mouth
