This is looking like one of the most interesting GOTM's for a while, so I guess I'll try to make it more so;
The specs are:
# 28" scale length
# 1pc Zebrano body
# Wenge neck and fretboard with zebrano inlay
# 24 frets
# Gotoh tuners
# Danish Oil finish
# GFS Mean90 (neck)
# GFS 'Crunchy PAF' (bridge)
# 1 vol, 1 tone, 6 way rotory pickup selector, wired as follows;
1. Bridge humbucker (series)
2. Bridge humbucker (parallel) + Neck P90 in parallel with bridge
3. Neck P-90 on its own.
4. Bridge humbucker (series) + Neck P90 in series with bridge
5. Bridge single coil (split humbucker) on its own
6. Bridge single coil (split humbucker) in series with the neck p90
The knobs in the photos are temporary. I'm replacing the vol and tone with smaller knobs. The pup selector (knob nearest the bottom of the pic) will remain large though.
The body shape is my own design, but it borrows heavily from the fernandes ravelle, just with an extra horn.
My brother playing it:

Here's a soundclip:

I recorded it with a cheap and nasty (£1 !) Headset-microphone, so its not exactly professional sound quality, but it gives you an idea of how it sounds.
You can hear the guitar acoustically too, because I had to record it at low volume.
Heres some more metal-ish stuff. My playing kinda sucks because I dont play much metal- I just think it suits the lower tuning. But then again my playing kinda sucks anyway.

As names go, I think I'll just go with "Zebrano Baritone". Never been one for naming guitars personally.
Thanks to anyone who votes for me!
