Yep, flamed bubinga over mahogany. TASTY combination!

And the body is glorious...she's gonna get Sadowsky electronics and pickups and a birdseye maple neck with matching FB:

You may as well put Sadowsky electronics in it anyway, because he gets all his bodies and necks from Warmoth.

Cue the flames!

No. Apparently they did contract out to Warmoth at some stage, but not any more.

If Sadowsky did go with Warmoth it wouldn't surprise me at all. There are a lot of builders like K-line who are more of an "assembly and fine finishing" vs. total construction. There's something to be said for delegation.

Yep, it's similar. I looked at the redwood/alder combo too.

Last night after the brown truck arrived, I did rough prep work on the body and drilled holes for the potentiometers. A big shout out to Rob LoPrinzi @ Sadowsky for helping me make sure everything was spec'd to accomodate the preamp and controls.

Clamped up to drill pilot holes for the cavity controls:

Getting ready to drill for the Sadowsky preamp:

Fastened in the drill press for the control layout:

Tape protects against chipout and scrapes from the drill bit:

Measure twice, drill once, great success!
