  • Overall length – 39″
  • Scale length – 25″
  • Fretboard radius – 12″
  •  Number of frets – 22
  • Weight – 8 lbs. on the nose

Hardware:

This is the block of maple the top will be cut from. Its freakin spectacular! To the right of the wenge are 6 boards of genuine Bolivian mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), 3 of those board will be used in this build Bridge and pickup covers. These will cover Seymour Duncan JB and 59. Heres those same covers after being soldered to a JB and a 59   An array of templates I’ll use for the build. I designed them in CAD, and a business associate in Sydney Australia cut them for me on a CNC machine.   Brazilian rosewood fretboard blank with my bird inlays laid out on it.   Go to the Build
