"Partita" - It's been a while since my last build (Little Roarer - Oct '19), so I thought it's about time I produced something. The body is a commercially made wooden hobby/craft box which I sprayed and pinstriped using black, blue and copper aerosols then sealed with a Lacquered topcoat.
The sapele neck got the same treatment. The beech fretboard is blue with black fogged edging with brass frets (Scale 24-3/4in). The 13.5K mini-humbucker and kitchen drawer tailpiece were sprayed copper. I made the bridge from some old weathered hardwood and brass fretwire. I feel maybe that this git could be more suited for taking off the wall and entertaining guests in the sitting room/parlor. Tuned to AEa.
