The new guitar is finished!!! Yippie! :)

Whew! That was a fun build. Happy to report that everything came out aces. Enough jibber jabber...let's get right to some specs:

• 25" scale neck with jumbo frets.
• 12" radius fretboard.
• Gotoh vintage/modern tuners (vintage style, modern 18:1 gear ratio)
• Black TUSQ nut (self lubricating and sounds great)
• Neck thru design.
• Figured Bubinga fretboard with offset abalone dot inlays. (side dots are abalone too)
• AAAA Flamed maple neck with thick mahogany laminates. (adds strength...and looks cool)
• Semi-gloss finish on neck; satin finish on body.
(Paper thin finish! Resonates better by far than those 1/8" thick factory finishes on the import guitars.)
• KING Grade cocobolo tops and bottoms. 1/4" thick for both sets. Museum grade wood.
(cocobolo is most closely related tonally to Brazilian Rosewood with many claiming Cocobolo is superior tonally)
• Seymour Duncan JB humbucker.
(most versatile humbucker around...everyone from jazz cats to metal heads love the JB)
• Cocobolo control plate and truss rod cover.
• 500k volume and tone pots.
• Schaller Roller bridge.
(hands down the most adjustable hardtail bridge on the market. Heavy too. GREAT sustain!)
• Hair under 9 lbs in total weight
