Hey guys!
I will be starting my 5th build soon, which will be some sort of a super strat . I typically don't like to build copies or clones of guitars that already exist, like say making a strat copy, because I just think if I am going to build something from scratch it should stand out somehow - you know? I just think it shouldn't look like something you would see on the wall at guitar center. However, I've been wanting a super strat style guitar lately, and when I came across this pic of a Blackwater guitar, I got really inspired.
So, this build will be very much inspired by that guitar, but with my own personal touches - because like I said, I don't like the idea of building a copy or clone of something else.
I'm still waiting on my order from LMI which has some key things I need to start this build like the top wood, neck wood, fingerboard and some other things. But I do have a drawing I made for the design of the guitar...
Here are some specs, though some may change as the build actually progresses.
-Mahogany body, Quilted Maple top
-Indian Rosewood/Bubinga/Maple neck
-Birdseye Maple fingerboard, 24 frets
-25.4" scale length
-Ibanez ZRII trem
-Dimarzio Norton/Illuminator pickups
-1 volume, 1 tone, super 5-way switch for some split tones
I think that's about it. Hopefully I'll be back soon with some updates once the rest of the materials arrive!
