Friend asked me to build him a guitar, he sent the wood. Pale moon ebony and mahogany. Originally a prs, then a superstrat and finally he sent me a pic and said this please lol. Anyway stranberg boden but with a headstock. Mahogany body, pale moon top, neck and fretboard. I even did the pickup covers. 

Gotoh 2 point trem, guitar anatomy locking tuners and warman destroyer pickup set. Similar sound to the seymour duncan jb hotrodded set. 

Came up with a new headstock design a bit of a cross between an ibanez and the black machine B7 alternative headstock. I would never have built this for myself but it was fun building something a bit odd.

@nsj

Again I enjoyed watching this one Neil. I wish I had the ability to just go for it that you have.

Stunning as usual Neil and very unusual. Especially like the way the bridge is mounted, have you got any more detailed shots of that please.😊👍

@brie Here's a couple, basically mounted like a regular 2 point trem, then I added a recess and then cut the back end away so there was no restriction. Nice brass block to finish off the look.
