Sup TBers! Been a bit.

Anyway, I liked my last one so much, I had my dude Jerimy over at Decibel build me another one! I should have this soon, so maybe this is a little premature, but I'm super stoked!

Pics then brief specs:

Might update after playing it, but according to Jerimy, "It plays like a dream!" and "it’s punchy as hell, with a nice balance of warmth" Regardless, it's pretty as heck!
  • Honduran mahogany body
  • roasted maple neck/fb (nut width 1.5", black inlays, 20 frets, slim profile)
  • white binding neck / body
  • Cherry stain
  • Gloss body, headstock, fb, satin back of neck (I have grown to prefer the satin on the back, so that may seem weird, but it's on me.)
  • custom Avedissian Pickups (acid crush / p hybrid)
  • badass bass 2 bridge
  • Hipshot ultralight tuners
  • Chrome hardware
  • 3-way Pup toggle
  • single volume knob
  • Weight: TBA

Dude... I was tracking this build, Jerimy CRUSHED IT. I was such a fan of your Gripper build from a few years ago that I've gotten two (ooph) Gee3's.
Once you take ownership of this, you'll have to let me know how it balances - I'm sure the strap pin on the neck plate is a big factor on mitigating neck dive.

Jerimy told me the thing balances perfectly, and I believe him... but yea, I'll update. And yea, the pin is likely for that purpose since the body is no way as heavy as a gripper.
