My camera leaves somewhat to be desired, but here's what I've got so far for my build...I planned initially big, but had to go on the cheap... I found a nice piece of bookmatched cherry for the body, and found a company (never heard of em) named Eden for the neck.... they've got an ebay store... not a bad price for the blank maple neck with maple fretboard... the've got other options too but I wanted the articulate sound and contrast of a maple fretboard... as far as hardware goes, I'm loading it with the following... a 3 band active eq (sb-3 from guitarfetish) and a GFS ceramic musicman p/u (thanks for the advice, TB) and I'm thinking of making it an 18v instead of 9... also installing an overdrive mod (its from GF too)... so that makes 3 9v batteries lol... the tuners are wilkinson black elephants, and the bridge is a budget bridge from choppers music (another ebay store)...and using gibson style speed knobs in black...with a little skull knob in black for the overdrive selector... gonna finish the body in Tung oil... will that darken the grain enough? pics coming...
