Natural Oil finish
Bartolini CB (D018) or J (D017) pickups
Bartolini 3-band preamp
3-piece Maple neck
Maple fingerboard w/black position markers on front of fingerboard
Graphite nut
Satin Chrome hardware
Bodies both just cut out, D018 w/neck pocket and pickup routs done:

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | | Yep, that's the idea. One of these will most likely belong to Cameron McLaughlin as soon as they're done. He wasn't sure which pickups he would prefer, so I offered to order one of each and stock whichever one he passes on.
Should be cool to see what a monster player like Cameron can do with one of these Roscoe standards... |

That's Cameron's new website. There's lots of music and a fair amount of input from Cameron about his history and his approach to music. Pretty cool!

Heavy? Nope, but not feathers either, good weight on both, without a scale, I'd guess in the 7.5-ish range when finished.
