Here is another new build. This one is in the style of a CS-336. This is my first carved top, set-neck model. This style has a routed chamber rather than bent ribs. The top is carved (and the back of the top is also carved). Carving the top was a whole new experience. This design is somewhere between an ES-335 (or more accurately ES-339) and a chambered Les Paul. I am quite pleased with how it came out. Check out the photos...

Very, very nice Steve and the 336 shape and size is a big hit too. Good going!

Nice looking axe. I'm getting closer and closer to my first carved top guitar, definitely intimidated by it.

In case you are interested, here is a post from back in October when I began working on this build. It took me a while to finish this one, but I was working on two others at the same time.
