While the Avenger prototypeand Bloodwood LPjr are nearing either completion or waiting for the finish to cure, I'm starting another one. Yea... it's just another PRS. Try not to get too excited.
Anyway, here's the rundown:
Ash body - 1.5" thick
Westone neck - 25.5 scale
Khaler trem
2 P-90 pups - maker undetermined, but NOT atrec/GFS
3-position toggle
1 volume, 1 tone
MAYBE a push/pull for a phase switch
chrome hardware
The input jack undetermined, but leaning towards a Strat. Thebody may not be thick enough to support it, though, so I may need to go with a side-mount. Likewise, it may be too thin for a push/pull, so a mini-toggle would be in order.
I wanted it thin and lightweight. I figured 1.5" was about as thin as I could get away with. I ordered some water soluable dyes last week. I'm going to dye the body either green or orange. I'll top it off with lacquer.
Here's the first WIP pics. The body has been shaped and given a 0.5" roundover. Later, it'll get a forearm contour and belly cut. I was an inch from making it a HSS setup, top-routing it, and making a P/G for it. It'd have ended up a Strat/PRS hybrid. In the end I decided against it. Still, the body has a all of the Strat personality, but with a PRS shape. Add in the Gibson-style P-90s, and it's a little bit of all three.
