That guitar should be pretty damn cool.

Don't say that too loud, they'll start building them out of basswood, just to spite us.

Pretty please put a maple board on that.

Isn't that a warmoth body?

If not, it looks damn close.

nope, that's an S7 body i'm building from a giant maple board. it's not contoured yet, and i haven't routed for the recessed trem, so it doesn't look exactly like an S at this point. but it will be, eventually.

but not with a maple fingerboard--sorry, Drew. on bright-sounding bodies, i like a mellower fingerboard wood like rosewood.

If not, it looks damn close.

i'll take that as a compliment!

thanks very much, but a lame camera and weak lighting hide a multitude of sins. i'm best at the routing, so the raw bodies look good; i'm not so great at the finishing, so they look less good the further along i get.

Scott that maple bodied S7 will be stunning when it's done. It's even a SSH pickup config. I want it.

hot!
