Well- not John M- that would be CBRMatt from LPF. He has been at it for some time, but the last 18 months in earnest. I don't know where he found the time to locate the components but it is not your grandmothers collection of bits. The bodies & necks are river salvaged mahogany from Belize; his wood supplier has some tremendous resources.
The bridge plates, neck plate and forward control plates are Damascus steel- super hardened. This leads to some outstanding ringing tone.
This is the color I am going with- cereal bowl oxide red (from a 1948 Fiesta piece). Opaque- very little grain showing through.
This is an ash bodied T style- the aging is very nice (I have a 1952 ash bodied guitar visiting at the moment and it is right there). Bolt-on neck.
This is one he built that is just finishing up- very rich- the P90's really have a 3d pulsing tone.
I am doing 2xP90's; bound red top, with natural back and oiled mahogany neck- rosewood board, unbound. **Change** Black PU covers- black Jr knobs, and a tortoise guard.
So it begins...
