chambered solid body
I’ve always lurked in the ‘Lemon drop’ thread in the Les Paul forum, so I thought I’d have a go at one.
…well I know it’s not a Les Paul, but it’s the lemon drop I was after…
Not enough yellow & a bit more red in it than would nail the lemon burst, but in natural light it is closer than the photos suggest. It does look nice.
I’ve gone for a minimalist sort of look with vol & tone on a concentric pot and a neck only Shadow Zoller pickup.
It will be pretty much my jazz gig guitar and I have to say that the Zoller pickup is a delight. A local pro who recruited me for a job remarked on it as did that bass player and a number of others (other than family ) ) . This is not a commercial.
Schaller tuners, Gotoh bridge, Strat jack on the back a la Ribbecke Halfling…
My daughter loves the D’addario coloured string balls. She took the pics.
Qld Maple top mahogany body & neck with ebony fingerboard….and..my first ‘full on’ attempt at a carve top. I used anything that had at edge at various times…and - I’m now a life member of The Miserable Binders’ Club.
