giblett123 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Morning all, right, work seems to be going pretty well and I now have the means so I've decided I need a new 5'er in the collection. Having admired the stuff on Robbie's thread for a while I've decided to take the plunge and go for one of these, it was originally going to be a fishtail SC but under pain of death I'm tightening the budget a tad as my wife has decided I have to take her somewhere decent on hols this year! Spec is: 34" scale bolt on with 19mm string spacing at the bridge. Body: Ash with Myrtle wood top and no pickgurard (see the pics of the wood and template shape below) with gloss finish Neck: Maple 3 piece flame/rock/flame. Board: Bird eye maple with 12" radius and rolled edges, 24 frets Side dots: blue luminlay. RIM Jazz headstock with myrtle facing, Hipshop ultralite tuners in black Hipshot type A bridge in black RIM custom wound pickups x 2 in a 70's jazz position East U-retro deluxe preamp Edited December 11, 2011 by giblett123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
