This will have a hard-tail bridge and one of Elmar's flatpups! The masked headstock will be strat-like. Planning for the fretboard to extend about a quarter or so into the body.

  • Jerry - many thanks!  I'm pretty excited about this one - it's shaping up nicely so far.  I'll post an update later today showing the finish along with the still unfretted fretboard.  I'll lay out the Elmar Flatpup and the hardtail bridge to give a sneak preview to the finished gitty.

  • A+.,.,with 5 Stars.,.,

  • Thanks, Sweetwater.

  • very nice. I'm with UJ

  • Thanks Unc!

  • Looking good, Rev.  Distress. 

  • Thanks, Pick! Plus it'll have a fretboard which will likely be stained dark.
