Hey everyone!
I just finished building this guitar and I thought I'd show you. I actually started making it over a year ago but I put it on hold and I've only been able to work on it during the weekends when I've been active. It's based on the Caparison Marcury but I modified it by using a regular Strat neck, 2 humbuckers, 1 tone and one volume pot. It's incredibly well balanced even though it has an odd shape! It's neither neck nor back heavy and It hangs really nice. Doesn't weigh more than a strat either.

SPECS
Maple neck - 25,5" scale (bought but I refinished the headstock)
Alder body
2 Japanese no name humbuckers
Nashville T-o-M
Electronics from Stewmac
Acrylic car lacquer (Motip)

This was actually my first woodwork since the butter knives back in school so I've really satisfied with the result. It's also the first time I every do a spray paint job.
