Hello All, I'll call this one The Tomato. I like tomatoes. I've built around 30 guitars in my little home shop, but this is my first multi-scale project. I've been wanting to make one for a while, so I built this one as an learning experiment.
The body is poplar. It features a one piece hard maple neck with walnut fillet, jumbo fretwire, and abalone dots. The scale is 25.5 / 24.7 I went with a retro-vibe because I haven't seen many done that way, and this being my first, I wanted to keep it simple.
The bridge is a top loading six saddle strat style hardtail. I swapped out screws , and springs to achieve the needed compensation.
I built the over wound F spaced AlNiCo V double slug humbucker specifically for this guitar. I used 500k Alpha pots with a poly capacitor.
I'm a pro woodworker by trade, and I began making guitars about ten years ago. I was inspired to make this one by curiosity. I had never even seen a multi-scale in person, so I had to build a guitar just to get my hands on one.
It's a simple little guitar that was really inexpensive to put together, but I'm thoroughly pleased with my results, and I plan on doing more like this.
