dej Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I rember this build, it turned out great. That's a seriosly thick maple cap! thanks for all the replies yeah the cap was approx 23mm thick, it tapers down a bit towards the neck the back is approx 13mm thick and that also tapers towards the neck join the guitar weighs 4kg in total (8.81lbs) which is i guess just a bit less than an LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck_Chill-Out Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Very nice guitar! A question, how are your truss rod cover and electronics cover attached? Magnets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
