Number One revisited

Post by Lawrence »

So I wasnt happy with my first build so I recarved the neck, the top, the back and the neck access.
Then I stained - hand rubbed sunburst (a subtle one) and laquered.

heres the result

ok details....

the bodies about 60mm ... 40mm of sapele and 10 mm of myrtle. Mostly hollow on the treble side, and partly on the bass side. There is no control cavity access....everything went in through the neck pickup rout.

The pickups are StewMac overwound golden age.

The neck was a Allparts mahogany with rosewood...25.5" scale.
