this one is a comedy of errors...
a trial of Cedar for the body - my first binding job ..and my first ceruse style finish on an ash top.
AS I started to get the top done I decided the original idea of minihumbers was wrong as this looked too rocky and should have full size humbuckers....and i screwed up the route for the the neck pickup - hence the three sided ring!. Anyone who has tried routing on an already carved body with a neck attached will understand!
Finally - the red stain turned the black binding a chocolate colour!
anyway here it is. Not everything turns out perfect!
6 piece neck maple and purpleheart with pinstripes
Ash top on Cedar Body
Granadillo fretboard
Golden Age overwound Alnico 5 humbuckers.
