So I lucked out pretty hard on this one. I have some friends who are still in high school, and one happens to be in a wood shop class (and he loves building guitars). You see where this is going...
For pretty cheap, I'm getting an axe built! Enough talking, here are the specs!
Telecaster Body
7 string
Bubinga Body
Maple Neck
26.25" scale length
Reverse headstock
24 frets
Routed for Active pickups
Black Hardware
I also gave him the idea for a deeper cut in for higher frets as well. We're only a little over a week into the build, and here's what we got...
I'm going to be going for a white satin on the top of the body, with a black satin on the sides and the back. I'm keeping the fretboard and the headstock all natural (like a Loomis), and am gonna have a black diamond inlay on the 12th fret.
The only thing that's missing that I wanted added was a Birdseye Maple fretboard, but regular maple should work just fine!
More pictures as I receive them!
