Exploradora - Korina Reverse Jazzmaster

[dbishopbliss]

I was originally thinking of building a full-size Mustang but then a friend suggested a Cabronita Boracha. I have a Strat style neck, and a set of P90 Staple pickups (as opposed to Filtertrons). Then I realized I also have a slab of Korina/White Limba... add a TOM bridge and tailpiece and a set of VVT controls and you have The Exploradora.



Thoughts?

Exploradora is an excellent name!

I’m thinking that will have to go on the rear control cavity.

Fendr Pawnshop reverse jaguar bass, just in case you haven't seen one before

Very cool name and nice project!

If getting more fret access in the high register is important for you, I would suggest to use the Jaguar outline as its horn translates into a more spacious cutaway whilst retaining the overall design.



Another element I would take into account is the location of the strap-button, if you put it on the upper cutaway, chances are that the you'll get neck dive.
A safest & more balanced place would be either on the back of the neck plate.


Keep us posted!

There is also the Duesenberg Falken that shows some similarities:

I didn't realize a Jaguar had a different horn... that makes sense. And I figure out the strap-buttons when the time comes.

Definitely similarities but not my taste.
