FLORAL INLAYS




SPECS:
NECK: 5pc Maple/Kamagong Neck-thru
BODY: Philippine Mahogany wings with flamed Caimito arched top
FINISH: Carribean Burst
FRETBOARD: 24 frets Kamagong fretboard with Abalone an MOP floral inlays, scalloped from 19th - 24th fret
                    25.5" scale
FRETS: Jescar Gold Jumbo frets
HARDWARES: String through with Tune-o-matic Bridge
                      Sperzel type locking machine heads
                      Brass Nut
                      Schaller strap locks
ELECTRONICS: 2pcs 500k Bourns Push/Pull pot (Volume)
                        1 pc  500k Bourns pot (Master tone)
                        3 way switch
                        0.047 uf Orangedrop capacitor
                        Switchcraft jack output
PICKUPS: Max Rufo Ultimax Noisless single coils (Direct mounted)

I was expecting my custom to be bright sounding due to the maple/ebony neckthru design, but upon completion it sounded thick and warm with lots of sustain. I'm thinking it must be the Caimito top (which is almost 3/4" thick) that gave it that warm tone. The push/pull pots are for single coil mode and for out of phase mode. The downside is, this is a heavy guitar (due to the caimito). I'ts not weight relieved or chambered but i like my guitar to be a bit heavy so all is fine. Bought a mono strap for more comfort (Thanks sir Jeff!  )

Big thanks to sir Spankyrigor for all the gold hardwares, Bournes pots an Orange drop cap..

  Goodevening po, knowing na nagkasakit po si Sir Max after reading few posts, though it was last month pa and, corresponding posts says ok na sya. I know he needs time to rest and to have full recovery to work again.

Ask ko lang po, is he back on business? gusto ko sana kasi magdrop-by ulit sa shop nya. Since last year pa po ang huling punta ko dun hehe..
