hiya..

thanks for your warm welcome to the forum :)
here are 3 more pictures of the guitar:





@ broken cord
honestly, i dont know how much she weights because we dont have weighing machine at home ;), but the guitars weight is quite light, similar to my esp eclipse.. gladly
In my conception for this guitar was the weight a major point, because playing a heavy guitar for hours isnt very comfortable (at least for me), and i didnt want a compromise in the sound and tone of the guitar, so weŽd choose cedro for the body, and a maple top, and for the neck also maple.

cheers

I like it, the body sculpting and especially the headstock show that some real thought has gone into the design to come up with something new.  The workmanship looks flawless too, bet it plays great.

I'm not crash hot on wooden pickup rings or knobs, I'll never see the appeal, but thats an easy fix.

Since it's a custom job, I'd change the top curve where the body meets the neck so that's it's more rounded like a Les Paul (if I was ordering one, which I'm not, so it's entirely hypothetical).

Congrats! I like the body shape and carving.I don't like the pu's rings (same goes for the wood-cover on the knobs) but it's easy to fix  :)

Thats funny, the pu rings and the wood coverings on the nobs are the only thing i like :lol:
