this is the first guitar i have built and i am very pleased with it. there are a few small mistakes but it is my first and imm only 14. the body is rock maple.its pretty much identical to a rhoads but i added a little angled cutaway so it would be eaier to reach the high frets. it plays great. it has great sound. great crunch, sounds like a jackson with seymore duncan JBs. the clean is very nice and full. i think the sortof crisp maple sound paired up with high output pickups sounds great. it was going to be a cherry red but the red turned out to be more of a pink so i went with the brown, i am very happy with it i like it more than red. i got the neck from a buddy of mine. there was a old fender guitar(the headstock was stripped down but imm pretty sure its a shomaster) lying around his basment with nothing in it, just the neck bridge and body. so i bought that and took the neck. i cut the headstock down to be better suited to the dody. the rest of the parts i got new. i got the wood for the body from my uncle that has a hardwood flooring buisness. my uncle hooked me up with a man that builds his own guitars mostly acustics he did the finish for me, and he only charged for the materials [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
here are the specs:
body - maple rhoads
neck - shomaster (headstock cut down) maple
- rosewood finger board
- 22 frets, 25.5 inch scale
controls -1 volume 1 tone 3 way toggle
pickups- kent armstrong distortion humbuckers (13k)
hardware - hardtail bridge string through
- ping tuners
finish - dark mahogany brown
tell me what you think good or bad
cheers matt
