Still haven’t come up with a name for her yet, but it’ll come. This is my first build, probably over my head with all the prices but, go big or go home right.
So here she is:
The wings are mahogany back, walnut top with maple in between with a bubinga strip running front to back.
The body is a walnut back with a maple top with Purple Heart and Bubinga strips. In between is a price of red oak.
The neck is a five piece walnut, red oak, maple. I still have yet to pick a fret board.
Pickups: I’m leaning towards a double P or a P with a humbucker at the bridge. Something different.
The pics are after cutting with the band saw and then some are after a sanding on the belt sander. I still have to glue her together and smooth her out.
