Not sure if this is the right place for this but I just bought 3 nf pickups and have been wanting a nf3 or studio for quite some time. I acquired some nice quilted and flame Maple for the top but thought I would put it open for suggestions on the rest of the woods.
I have made about 20ish guitars so carve top is a definite.
Up for input
Color: I really like Aqua marine dragons breath but need to practice that one first. Tiger eye is high on list but not all maple is good for this. I like the fades but once the maple is shaped it deteines the stain take
Body shape: les Paul, Prs sc, Santana, or trad custom. I also have original designs.
So far I have flames maple or a Solid Indian rosewood neck stock. mafagascar rw, ebony, maple board?
Radius? 7.5 or 12?
Body options of Spanish cedar, ash, alder, mahogany, or black walnut (not high on the list). Limbs or Korina is also a fav
For inlays I like dots but may do other. I will see.
Pickups. 3 nf's with 5-way
Hardware: tone pros or graphtech bridge( have both). Tonepros kluson tuners. Bone nut.
Please feel free to chime in. This will be a leisurely build. Not in a. Hurry.
Cheers. JR
