Another post about the electric plans...

Well, I now have all my electric wood ordered, so I'm really starting to get excited about it. I ordered a cool spalted curly maple drop top and a one piece primavera body blank, which will have a bunch of little chambers routed out of it before attaching the drop top. This will make the axe a little lighter and I've read that if you use multiple smaller chambers instead of semi-hollow, the guitar will have less feedback problems.

It will also have no f-holes, because the top looks too cool to cut anything out of it. For the same reason, I'm also planning on doing a rear route with no pickguard, and I've read that the pickups sound better mounted directly to the body instead of the pickguard anyways.

Here's a photo of the drop top:
So add in a curly maple neck taken from my archtop neck blank, a cocobolo fingerboard, and this guitar will be visually similar to my inspiration guitar with a few little touches of my own here and there to make things even sweeter.

My bridge and pre-amp came today, and they seem to be pretty high quality. The only thing I'm concerned about are the saddles, which are unchangeable on this bridge. If they don't work out, I can always install a new bridge later and add some graph tech piezo saddles. And that is all I have for you today...
