I just bought this custom Mahogany/Korina Explorer husk. I'm rounding up parts and electronics to make this beast come alive!!! I will have more pics and clips as it comes together.













 
Seriously, though, what's the story on the build?Looks too nicely made to be a home project. Is it a Heritage cast-off?

This project got off to a bumpy start. When I first saw the box, I expected to find a broken neck, since it was in a gig bag.



Luckily, there was only a couple dings in the body.

I started with the nut...I cheated and bought a pre-grooved nut. Then started wiring. There was no hole from the tailpiece post to the control cavity for the ground wire, so I had to buy a long drill bit and drill that hole. Installed the hardware and started doing the setup.





The guitar setup very well! whoever did the fretwork on the stainless steel frets did a great job! The neck is perfect, with help from the dual action truss rod.

The build quality is excellent as well.

The guitar has a very warm tone. I'm very happy with the final product.
