Wow -- that is a beauty! I have a chambered Warmoth guitar made of black limba (the VIP body shape) with a limba/ebony neck and Dimarzio 36th Anniversary pickups. It's my best sounding guitar. Obviously there is a lot of debate about how much various woods affect the overall sound, but to my ears it has a great, warm tone but lots of dynamics and punchiness. It's perfect for jazz but can get nasty if need be. I love it.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one!

The strandberg shape is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to try one someday...
By the way, have you changed the body design a bit? Might be just me, but both horns (upper and lower) seem slightly different...

OK guys, it's finally done! I am completely blown away. This thing sounds absolutely MASSIVE and is clear as hell. I was playing it through my 5150III today and I'm in shock at how massive this thing sounds.

Yeah, I'm considering building an erg and going ahead and using the Strandberg bridge, and I'd really think hard about putting a headstock on it (and also maybe enlarging the body - they just look so small).
