I started a new design, that has some features I’ve never done before, like magnetic battery cover and wood pickup covers.
I had an awesome piece of camphor burl that I thought would make a great fingerboard. And I did test before using to make sure it was solid enough to hold frets.
The body is ash with a cottonwood burl top.
The ash has a rear cap , also in ash. And the reason for this is I wanted to cut the control and battery covers before glueing on, as I wanted the grain pattern to match. Same principal with the front. I cut the pickup shapes and then glued the top on.
The fingerboard is bound, with EVO frets. Matching headstock.
