San Dimas Style Custom Guitar

[Model1VH2]

Here's a project I just recently completed ...
The body is a one piece Padauk with a beautiful grain pattern.
Included is an Original Floyd Rose, 22 medium jumbo fret maple neck, and a '59 Trembucker.













The tone of this wood is very unique.
It's hard to describe ... it sounds sorta like maple, but not as bright or thin with alot more tonal quality.

Here's the description of the wood as listed on the Warmoth site ...
"Padouk, African (Pterocarpus soyauxii):
Bright vivid orange color which oxidizes to a warm brown with use. This waxy feeling wood has an open grain texture similar to rosewood and a tone similar to maple with great mids and attack. "



Thanks for looking.

Awesome guitar. Say, you wouldn't be Dino from the eddievanhalen.com forum would you?

Yeah, the username "Dino" was already taken on this site...
I was "banned for life" on that other forum ... long story.

That is indeed a stunning looking guitar.
Give it a tobacco burst, and it would look like a Model 88 strathead!

Beautiful grain on that body.

Very nice - so why you selling it then?

I never intended on keeping it.
I built it to sell it.

I saw, earlier, that it was already up on Evilbay. Nice work, Dino.
