I know, ... what could be less inspiring, less creative, less interesting than the one millionth PRS style homebrew guitar. What can I say? I've never owned one, rarely played one, but I thought I would give this carved top thing a try. When I use the PRS name, I certainly do not claim to have reached anywhere near their level of craftsmanship - I just use it to describe the shape of the guitar.
It will have:
- Alder body with 3/4" quilted top
- Curly maple / Wenge laminate neck (7 piece if I remember) with Wenge headstock (2 way rod)
- 24 fret curly maple fretboard with wenge bird inlay at 12th fret
- Chrome floyd with R4 nut
- Chrome tuners
- SD Jazz in the neck, SD JB Trembucker in bridge
- 3 way toggle, 500K vol, 500K tone (push/pull for coil tapping)
- Set neck construction
From a design standpoint - it really isn't anything worth getting excited about. I'm still focusing on getting better at the finshing stages. I do have another in the works that should score some creativity points - none here though.
Here are a couple of pics of the body being finished:
