I'm waiting to see what pickups are installed, and then maybe a video.....


This guitar is the only one I have in stock at the moment and the pickups are custom built for the customer so you will have to wait and see until the guitar is sold for further updates... :D

Sweet!
Just curious as to why you poked those holes in the cavity shielding.
So it stays put?
Aren't you afraid signals will go through all those holes? laughing6-hehe laughing6-hehe laughing6-hehe

To make the overlaps connect to each other.....

No wonder people never get it right when shielding with aluminium tape, that makes it just as funny... laughing6-hehe

Really nice!

Can you tell us about your staining/finish method for the back plate?

It's actually pine which is custom cut by a friend of mine, several layers which I then laminate together...

The idea is to make a stable cover because solid wood would be pretty unstable (its only 2.5mm thick) and I then stain it black with a homemade mixture...

That cover kinda became part of my style laughing6-hehe

I'm using the same technique on my distressed "pine top" guitars...

Instead to use the router, I had to idea to chip carve a purfling channel using a scalpel... It gives a unique "not cold machine-made perfection" but "hand-made organic.." touch to the instrument...
