This is my knock off of a CS336 which is a scaled down shape of an ES335. It is also constructed differently,,,as mine is...:D
Warmoth Neck: Mahogany with Ebony fingerboard, bound
Scale: 24 ¾”
Body: Queensland Maple 1 piece centre block and rim, Top and back laminate of Queensland Maple. Very shallow carve on top.
Tuners: Schaller, locking
Pickups Neck: Lindy Fralin Humbucker - 8K
Bridge: Lindy Fralin Humbucker - 9K
Bridge,Tailpiece: Gotoh tune-O-matic. TonePros locking tailpiece Studs
Strap pins: Schaller Strap Lock
Wiring: 1 vol (treble roll off) 2 tone. Coil cut. 3 way P/U Selector
Finish Neck: Water-soluble dye stains on timber, then 'hard’shellac. Satin finish as per p64 Polishers’ Handbook. Headstock rubbed to
gloss.
Water soluble dye stain on timber, shellac seal, Spray can VHT nitrocellulose lacquer rubbed 600 up to 1200 grit, then
Meguair’s Mirror Glaze No 2, No9, No7
Body: Water-soluble dye stains on timber, filled sanded & restained, (D Erlewine method 4) shellac seal, Then sprayed with
nitrocellulose lacquer. Rubbed to gloss.
The big surpise is how good this sounds acoustically. Qld Maple is used by Maton so maybe I should have expected this.
This guitar is mine which I will use at various gigs about the place. The others are for my daughters.
Thanks a million to all the forum members who helped at various stages.
