25.5" scale neck, poplar body, coil tapping pickups, knockoff floyd from guitar fetish. The body was dyed using angelus leather dies (recommended by BigDGuitars on yt) it was a good first project to learn on and a lot of fun to make. Picture was taken before I installed the control knobs but it really pops in the sun.

Looks absolutely sick. I really love the colour. Bet that thing shreds

It probably does shred, alas I exclusively play wonderwall on it.

Great looking build! I have bad shoulders, so I’m always a little put off by the weight of most explorers. How much does this thing weigh?

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Man that's a great finish. What kind of pickups do you have in it?

Where are the knobs in the first photo?

In their packages along with the pots. I had not finished the assembly yet but wanted to see how it looked.
