Holy shit is that tasty, and not far off from a wood combo I'm considering using. I'd love to know how that sounds. Which pickups are going in?
It's a set of covered BKP Mules... oh and the limba body is chambered. This particular guitar will probably spend most of its time doing cleans on the neck pup

Great looking axe, man! I can't stop staring at the little knot in the neck though, it's bugging me!
It's not a knot, it's a white spot in the ebony's coloring. I could have had it dyed, but since it's an oil finish the dye would rub off eventually anyways so I told him not to bother.
Welcome to life with real ebony, sometimes the color is not uniform
(that and since I selected and bought the wood pieces and the ebony was jet black until it was carved down I didn't feel like scrapping IIRC $400 worth of wood to start over)

If you find one or have one machined let me know
That said with the TOM recessed like it is on KxKs it really doesn't bother me at all.

That's really unique looking.
Loving that rosewood!

When I saw that wood combo I literally whent ''OOOOEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH''. Great choice on the Mules by the way, the full bodied sound of that rosewood with some airyness from the chambered limba should make for incredible cleans.

+1 for clips - I'm really interested in hearing how the Mules respond down below the standard 6-string range. And congrats - it's a beauty!

Thanks everyone, I am really looking forward to getting my hands on this. Not sure if I'll be able to get clips up as I'm not set up for recording since I sold my Axe-Fx rig, but I'll see what I can do.
That's what I was going for I'm hoping it works out to a rich balanced sound between the rosewood, ebony, and bubinga as the top is pretty thick and a solid slab. Should give it some nice warmth but with clarity and nice attack

Yea, that Bubinga is gonna add quite some attack to it. Great choice of woods, record some if you get the chance when it arrives!
EDIT: Is it a 5 piece rosewood neck or are those ebony laminates?
