First things first. Templates.
I designed this guitar myself in CAD, and then sent the plans to a business I’ve used in the past to make templates for me. Prices are good, customer service is second to none, and the resulting templates are perfect.
I have them CNC cut by Chris Westhoff at LR Design+Build in Columbus OH
Next up we have the wood!
This is pretty much what you would expect for a guitar whose niche was defined by the Gibson Les Paul.
Genuine mahogany for the body and neck, highly figured maple for the top, and Brazilian rosewood for the fretboard.
A closer look at one of the tops just because….well…wow! This thing is going to look pretty sick 🙂
