Maple neck, RW fretboard, Ash Body, Schaller FR Trem, Grover Tuners, Stew Mac Pick Ups. My only concession to prefabrication was getting a preslotted fretboard.
My "Company" is called "Scar" Guitars (a play on my first & last names lol!). This one is called First Blood. I know, not very original, but it does have actual blood in it! =P
The HB is coil cut, so I have "Strat Mode" & "Humbucker Mode". I will probably put separate Vol/Tone controls on the HB before I am done.
This pic is form a couple of weeks ago. It has since been deconstructed and rewired to correct an embarrassing wiring mistake and to reduce the thickness & width of the neck. (I had heard how some people liked a fat neck, so I experimented with that first and didn't much care for it.)
After re-assembly, it is quiet as a kitten. My only problem now is I'm not getting the correct pick up combinations working. Seems to be a problem with the switch, but maybe I have some signal bleed. As in any Strat style, Neck PU is wired to pos 1, middle on pos 3. Pos 2 should give both, but it is not, and have the same issue with position 4. It's working that way in both Strat & Humbucker Mode. I obviously have some kind of problem, so there's my project this weekend.
For finish I was originally going shiny black (hence all the black h/w), but I have recently acquired a Epiphone Les Paul copy that is super glossy black and it's such a major fingerprint magnet! =P I'm still going black, but going to use a rubbed oil finish for that and environmental reasons.
Will post the finished product soon!
[Edit] Fixed my image tag. :)
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
