Details are as follows:
- One-piece maple body, purchased from David King.
- Two-piece maple bolt-on neck, scarfed headstock, CF tubes, flame-y maple fretboard, two-way truss rod.
- 25" treble to 26" bass multi-scale fretboard, perpendicular fret at the 12th.
- TransTint black onto bare wood and sanded back for much of the instrument. Fiebings Leather Dye Ox Blood red on the fretboard, with some black, too.
- All the black plastic is ABS sheet with the textured side up. Pickup covers are thermoformed 1/16" sheet and the pickguard, cavity control cover, and truss access cover are 1/8" sheet.
- Tuners are budget locking (i.e., Chinese Sperzel clones... a little rough).
- GraphTech Wilkinson saddles with a custom phenolic base plate.
- The humbuckers are my own pickups of a special recipe. They're the same as on the #3 walnut and spalted maple guitar that is its "twin". Simple 3-way switch for bridge, bridge-neck, and neck. Volume and a push-pull bypass tone: pull up for tone with a .022uf cap, push down to bypass the tone circuit.
This is, by far, my best effort. It plays and sounds soooo good! It's #4, and I think I'm getting the hang of this!
