Here is my latest build. A traditional design done anything but traditionally......here's the skinny.

Solid mahogany and maple construction but only weighs 7 lb-10 oz strung up to play. Body weighed 5 lb- 12 oz headed into the spray booth. Thanks to my resonance coupled weight relief strategy. None of that hollow sound you get from the heavily chambered design by that big company.....

Pickups are Dimarzio's and the electronics is my own special layout that is best explained in this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TQS0RmgpmI

The finish is a Galaxy Burst which is a holographic flake so it goes from black to yowza.....get a peak here with some moving light.

The body has a tummy relief and a neck carved into the body for ease of playing on the high frets. Glow in the dark side markers and too much more to list. Here are the pics........
