Are the exotic woods getting harder to find? I just inquired about a build and it seems the wood isnt available in a L5S body.
I am bummed out. :help:
Anyone else run into this?
Hi all. My father passed away Jan 24. and I would like to build a tribute guitar in memory of him. :(
Has anyone done this?
Wood was his passion and especially loved Walnut and Bubinga.
I need some ideas here. I already have Strats and Teles and was looking for something other than that...
Well here its is my hollow JBass in Wenge and Beeswing Bubinga finished in Danish oil.
Neck is Bubinga and a Ziricote fretboard and Abalone dots.
Pickups are Seymour Duncan Basslines passive soapbars SSB4's
This is a heavy bass weighing in at a little over 11 lbs. Not much more than my Ibanez...
I have finished my Hollow Strat build. Weighs in at 7 lbs. total
Body is Hollow Lacewood finished in clear gloss.
Neck is Padouk and Rosewood with no finish and Abalone dots.
Pickups custom wound for me by Jon Moore at www.tonefordays.com
Neck and middle pickups are custom wound Tex Mex...

I have been thinking...
a Tele Thinline or L5S made of soft Bigleaf Flame Maple and a Sitka Spruce top. Humbuckers and a Piezo bridge for acoustic sounds. Could even be used for an acoustic guitar.
Anyone have one? Thoughts

I ordered my Hollow J Bass routed for EMG pickups. Body Wenge with Beeswing Bubinga top. Neck will be Bubinga with a Ziricote board.
I have Bartolini's in my 5 string Ibanez so I opted for the EMG's. Wanted a different sound.
Question...Does anyone have some experience with EMG pickups...
Well here it finally is. After 6 years here is my Strat finished. This thing sounds like a Les Paul with a single coil in the middle. That is the sound I was looking for on this one.
Solid Mahogany body with a Wild Maple top. The finish is Blue Burst. The neck is quartersawn Flame Maple with...
Here is a pic of my 7 year old Hollow Strat. It features a Swamp Ash body with a Cherryburst finish with a Quilted Maple top.
The neck is Birdseye Maple with a SRV contour and a Pau Ferro fretboard and a vintage tint matt finish.
Pickups are Rio Grande Vintage Tallboys without covers.
