this one is a comedy of errors...

a trial of Cedar for the body - my first binding job ..and my first ceruse style finish on an ash top.

AS I started to get the top done I decided the original idea of minihumbers was wrong as this looked too rocky and should have full size humbuckers....and i screwed up the route for the the neck pickup - hence the three sided ring!. Anyone who has tried routing on an already carved body with a neck attached will understand!
Finally - the red stain turned the black binding a chocolate colour!

anyway here it is. Not everything turns out perfect!

6 piece neck maple and purpleheart with pinstripes
Ash top on Cedar Body
Granadillo fretboard
Golden Age overwound Alnico 5 humbuckers.

Another fine one sees the light of day, you are definitely a builder that has your own identity Lawrence. I can now look at your builds and know very quickly that it’s one of yours, that’s has to be a credit and achievement in this day and age

Can’t say I ever heard of Granadillo before but but it sure looks lovely with the red coming through in places. A perfect combination and complement to rest of the guitar
