Members Bowen Posted October 5, 2009 Members Share Posted October 5, 2009 Here is the build thread for this guitar. This was a nice build with no surprises or major problems. This is the first set neck and the first tru-oil finish that I've done. The set neck was not mush fun so I'll probably stick with neck through or bolt on in the future. Specs: African mahogany neck and body Cocobolo fingerboard with stainless frets and abalone dots Wenge headstock overlay and pickguard Ebony truss rod cover/cavity cover and knobs 25.5" scale GFS P90 The guitar sounds like you'd expect, a punchy growly p90 tone that sweetens up very nicely. The weight is probably 9 or 10 lbs, Ive got no scale. I had been planning to keep this one but it needs find another home. Note about the pics: the flash highlighted the grain quite a bit on the full front and back shots. I was not friends with the camera today.

I have played one of his guitars and it was the best feeling neck and fretwork I've laid hands on. He's a master on the neck!

Members Toadroller Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 Bowen, that's fabulous! I hope mine comes out 1/10th as nice as that. I'm working the same plan, but it will take much, much longer, what with using the tools from the local highschool adult ed class on Thursday evenings... when I'm not on the road as this week and last.
