This is a right handed multi-scale solid body electric guitar made from alder and finished in a metallic copper finish. The body is 1.75 inches thick and was hand shaped on a sander with a ¼ round edge all the way around. The body weighs 3.76 Lbs. It’s a string through body with a HipShot 18 degree black hardtail bridge. The hardware is also all black. The pickup configuration is a humbucker in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge. I wound these pickups myself and they measure out as follows; the neck pickup has an ALNICO 5 magnet and reads at 9k and the bridge pickup also has an ALINCO 5 magnet and reads at 13.6k. The electronics are wired with a volume pot for each pickup and a three way selector switch. The neck is 24 frets and bolted on with recessed black ferrules for a sleek look. The neck is maple with a 9.5” radius, wenge fretboard and maple position markers. The truss rod is a dual action spoke type and located at the heel end. My necks are all hand carved and the profile is considered a “C” shape. This one is very thin and measures .845” (21.46mm) at the 1st fret and .876” (22.25mm) at the 12^th fret. The frets are Medium Nickel-Silver .084″ wide by .039″ high. The 12^th fret is the perpendicular fret. The tuners are black HipShot open gear staggered inline type. The nut was hand shaped from buffalo horn.

My guitars are set up to play with great action. The frets have been leveled, crowned and polished. The string height at the 1^st fret is .012” and at the 12^th fret it’s .060”. You’ll notice how smooth they are right away.
