Pretty sure I can't get the guitar I want - due to material availability - but I thought it would be fun to spec what I would order at EXP:XXXV if it were possible.
What do you have planned (even if just a dream) for your EXP:VVVV build?
Paul's Hollowbody
Concept: Combine the wood and color of a US-spec Violin McCarty with electronics and stoptail of a Paul's Guitar on a Hollowbody 2 platform.
BASE MODEL: HB2 (25" scale)
TOP: Eastern European Maple
BODY: Figured Mahogany (heaviest available)
BACK: Same as top
COLOR: Match Violin McCarty
FINISH: Gloss Nitro
NECK: Pernambuco (qtr-sawn and straight-grain), wide/fat carve
NUT: Bone
FRETBOARD: Brazilian Rosewood (Black, qtr-sawn, and straight-grain), 10" radius
FRETS: Same as Paul's Guitar
BINDING: None
HEADSTOCK: RW veneer matching fretboard, hand-signed by Paul (gold ink)
TRC: Match fretboard
INLAY: Celtic Knots (including 1st fret)
INLAY MATERIAL: Match Paul's 28
PICKUPS: TCI (Paul's Guitar)
PICKUP RINGS: Natural maple (clear coat only)
HARDWARE: Paul's Guitar bridge (brass inserts), Robson tuners with faux ivory buttons, mixed nickel/gold hardware
SPECIAL: (1) Significantly softened forearm edge. (2) Inside of the back - as seen through the f-holes, finished in gloss nitro (no stain). Private Stock number and serial number hand-written (gold) on inside of guitar and visible through the bottom F-hole, nothing on back of headstock. (3) Pots verified no lower than 500k
CASE: Calton
