Number 31

Post by Lawrence »

what happened to 30 you mifgt ask. Well I had to strip and refinish...thats a story for later.

This is a simple solid body, no top.
the body is black Limba...the same species as Korina.

The body blank was so pretty I decided to do a basic build with it. This may be the last guitar with this body shape....

so Black Lima
Neck is mahogany, wenge and purple heart.
Ebony Fretboard
Gotoh Magnum locking tuners
Golden Age Alinico V pickups.
total weight is 3.1 kilo
Neck is a slimmish flat C
