Signature Guitar Co.

[xbolt]

I just found a very cool project that consists of rare Signature Guitar Co. legacy & Lasido/Godin built parts.
These parts were made available after Signature closed their doors...similar to Kramer's firesale...

First up is a Signature Odyssey body built by Lasido:
- Limewood (Alder family)
- Carved Top
- HSS
This one will see a refin...not sure what the plan will be yet.


Second is a custom reverse Jackson neck also built by Lasido:
- Familiar aluminum side dots (just like the Lasido built Kramer necks) Dots are on both sides to allow the neck to be used for lefty or as rev HS.
- Flame rock Maple, no scarf joint.
- Dark ebony FB w/ MOP dots



Third is a Schaller Floyd...which was installed by the previous owner and is btw thankfully correct for the Signatures.


Last but not least, I also landed some NOS Evans pickups, also correct for Signatures.
Theses are no longer in production...

The last Lasdio resurection project I did a while back was for a buddy...very same type of neck on this one, only it was a regular righty w/ the aluminum dots...:thumbsup


This will definitely make for a fun historic mutt restomod project and when she's done, she will joint the rest of the family

They're all cool, but I really dig the red one in the center. Is that a natural masked binding on it?

Why is the neck pickup route different?

Thanks, yes it is...here is some better pron.

Why is the neck pickup route different?

Not sure if the neck pu route was ordered like that or modified to fit a pickup. The Evans or Seymour Hot Stacks that these came with didn't need the extra clearance route so probably someone just added it.
I may just open it up to HSH...

How do you find these xbolt?
Looks like a really great project.
I am still looking for a Aurora SSS.

Lifelong habit of keeping the old eyes peeled and some dumb luck

I am not going to give up until I find one of these.

Almost ready for finish...a bit more sanding and prep to do.
I managed to find a full set of white Evans pickups for this badboy
You can see the rough sample colour in the last pic...
