Hi All,
I haven't posted in a while, since I've been pretty busy. (becoming a Dad, takes a lot of your spare time
But I also restaured a few guitars (old Tesco ES-335 copy, Heerby Les Paul, the Hag-Master, etc...
I also started making plans for a hollowbody Jazzmaster... But I don't want to go the Alder or Ash route for this one.
My first Idea would be to take some Maghony with a nice maple top. Talking dual F-hole here, no guard, no rythem cuircuit, stock trem, bridge and neck.
Pick ups will most likely be a SD Hot in the bridge and a CIJ stock bridge in the neck (SD are differently wound to MIJ pups, so in order to get the Hum canceling effect, I need to put a MIJ Bridge in the neck position)
So any other ideas?? I want something a bit warmer sounding.
And, the body will have two big hollow chambers. Middle (where the pups, bridge and trem will be will be solid wood. I'm thinking of going the way of a thinline tele construction (since I build on before)
