My latest build
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/kTq6Q
Specs:
Korina Neck with Rosewood fretboard (Black Walnut veneer with a Rosewood truss veneer)
Fijian Mahogany Body (Adrian) with Black Walnut bookmatch top. (Rarefind Timbers)
25.5" Scale - my favourite.
Grover 3-per side Tulip Tuners.
Tusq nut
Duesenberg Wrap around bridge
Duesenberg "D-Tron" Humbucker Neck
Duesenberg "Little Toaster" Humbucker Bridge (Joe Walsh)
3-way Toggle with Push/pull tone and volume pots for both neck and bridge on their own (Obsidianwire/Tonelounge)
Treble Bleed circuit.
Inlay lasered in by Emblems NZ and Laser cut MoP - not fun superglueing it in I'll tell you that much.. I Might stick with blank headstocks next time.
One final setup help from Grant this weekend has done the job.
I did the majority of the work at home, Spent a weekend up with Trevor Binford as he helped with the neck - Made me do 90% of it myself after explaining how to use the tools for fretting etc.
Great learning experience as this was my first build where i've done 100% of it - I'd usually buy a neck.

Looks Brilliant.
Love the way the wrap around bridge looks on it.
