New 7 Build - zebrawood/padouk

canuck brian · 11-19-2007, 12:52 AM

I've been working on this new project the past two weekends and I just finished slotting the trussrod channel (no pics...sorry.) I spent most of today making templates for the pickups (mabye EMG 707/81-7 or 2 JB-7's) and the bridge (hipshot 7 trem). It's a pretty thick zebrawood 2 piece cap over mahogany/flamed maple/mahogany backing. The neck padouk. I've got a flamed maple fretboard to use on this and I've a neat inlay idea going on...hope I can pull it off.

It's going to be 25.5 as I've got smaller hands.

dude. badass. thats lookin awesome

yevetz · 11-19-2007, 06:32 AM

That's looks awesome

robanomoly · 11-19-2007, 07:25 AM

Looks good so far! That's going to be a bright sounding guitar.

Why are you using flamed maple, then covering it with zebrawood?

Is the neck flatsawn? Will padouk be stiff enough if used flatsawn?

Can flamed maple be used for fingerboards? It's not recommended by Warmoth.

Swaheet!

Any plans for body contours?

flame maple is used by jackson in the phil collen sig as a fingerboard.
man this is gonna be a great guitar, put in some warm pickups such as the EMG or bare knuckles and it will scream!
