Oooooh, nice!

Looks like a multi hybrid - strat bridge and cable entry, humbuckers, set neck with ebony fretboard??? Flattop solid body with F holes???

Do tell us more.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Not wanting to sound like the judges from "House rules", but that is a really sweet looking layout. Take it the top isn't carved? Can't wait to see more!

actually top will be carved...its 12 mm and the carve will go all the way down to the maple layer at the edge. Its the same technique I used on Number 15. I would have liked a thicker top for this but Im working within the resources at hand.

another tidbit....its going to have an Ibanez ZR Trem and 6 way switching on a Freeway toggle.

Nice. So you'll use the maple more like an edging feature like binding ratther than carve the top so the maple is visible from the top?

Where did you source the trem from?
