Wow looks great. How does cocobolo compare to ebony?

the idea of the slanted pup is to stop the neck pup getting muddy, as you can see its closer to the bridge too.

Looks nice, but I'm not really into the slanted neck PU thing - simply for aesthetic reasons. However, if you do the slant for tonal reasons, you'd want the neck PU slanted the other way, to avoid the low notes turning to mush, whilst retaining high note warmth and body.

The Rusty Cooley slant is there simply because it's the only way you can fit a neck EMG with the extreme cutaway on his guitars...

very similar


and about hte slant, as you can see, the bass side is further away than a normal neck pup, so that reduces the mudd there, and i want the treble to be slanted s get more bite

you'd lose some legato tones then wouldn't you? I would agree with Pablo, the slant the other way to give the bottom strings more grit whereas the top strings have legato tones.
