Alder body w/ 1/4 AAAA flamed maple top
Wenge/purpleheart/maple neck w/pau ferro fret board 24 frets
Hipshot fixed bridge
sperzel locking tuners

Finish will be a blackcherry with satin clear coat,with headstock having a wenge veneer and a flamed maple truss rod cover all unfinished neck!!!

Im looking to start the fret work this week!

Merged your old thread with the new one No sense in having two of them.

For anyone else who has a build thread that they want moved to the new forum, report your thread and ask to have it moved and we'll get right to it

It looks really good, i just can't understand why only one PU...
I mean, if you 're making it, wouldn't be more practical to put at least two so it could be more versatile?I know that this is a personal choice but, if you ever want another sound, you won't be able to have it without having to mod it.
Just my opinion though

I originally did the one pickup bc of budget and the thought that meshuggah does just fine with one. Eventually I will add a second it's super easy to add another and a bit of refinishing after... No biggie. The next one will have 2 pickups, I'm thinking of doing a 7.
