The hardware comes from a cheap Asian webshop. The sizes are standard, so if it turns out they need an upgrade in the future, easily some expensive stuff can be mounted.
The rims being used come from a left over OOO, which had a tiny crack in the Granadillo sides. It was repaired, but the customer then payed good money. So I made him a new rim, leaving this one for this project. The back are made from Sapele, equally in color, good tonewood, Mahogany tone and not expensive (15 euro)
The neck is made out of old church bench wood, that I got for free.
Don’t know what species, but it's hard, dense and probably from Indonesia. I glued it with mahogany and maple veneer to get the width. And I’m able to cut the neck in one piece.
First I saw the headstock angle, planed that and calculated the rest of the neck from there.
I have no actual plan for this guitar, but from internet pictures you can calculate the height shape. Knowing that the neck is about one inch thick at the nut. I drew it roughly on the blank and sawed it out. Leaving some material for further shaping.
