Frets : 24
Trussrod : ALLPARTS

Body : Peruvian Walnut w/ Ziricote Top
Tuners : Hipshot Headless
Pickups : Custom Wound Guitar Logistics Humbuckers
Bridge : Hipshot Headless

Changed things from my Steinberger to improve ergos. Using the new Headless System from Hipshot for this build. Not sure about a zero fret as I prefer the string to be stiff at the 1st fret... not a fan of the string moving across the zero fret and making noise.

I have been waiting for a project to use this ziricote on. From the same batch as the Hand of Doom.


Top joined and cracks filled with West Systems epoxy. Then attached to a solid piece of Peruvian Walnut.



Body blank done.
