My Charvacaster

Post by DivebombInc » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:50 am

I cut this body from one piece of Honduran Mahogany about a year ago and never did anything with it. I made the neck recently from Maple and it has a Zebrawood Fingerboard and Jumbo Stainless Frets. I used Chrome Mini Schaller Tuners, an Original Floyd Rose and a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker. A Gibson 500k Pot for volume and a few more chrome pieces finished it off.

I gotta go re-supply on strings and then I'll crank this baby up later.

I'm going to add a large brass sustain block, but other than that I probably won't change anything unless the pickup doesn't sound right.

I rubbed the neck down with tung oil and strung it up. It sounds great, but I haven't played it too much because I need to intonate it.

Zebrawood fingerboard looks great.
