triodecr Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Beautiful specs and execution! Izzat a rod magnet '90 in the bridge to go along with the staple 90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Dave, that's one of my favorites so far. The semi-hollows are all killer. Selfishly, being #0075 is even more fun tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 O.M.G. I have a pair of staple pickups in a PRS "Ted". They are to die for. But that guitar does not hold a candle to yours! Congrats! Having been dealt a number, I am enjoying the countdown (count up?) all the more...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 OMG that is beautiful! Semi hollow bodies and hollow bodies look so much better without pickup rings IMO. The bridge too really assists the minimalist aesthetic. That Sir is a classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerDave Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 I had a completely different concept when I completed the build sheet. Then, last April, I caught a rut while riding my motorcycle off-road, went over the handlebars and snapped my left collarbone. It required surgery, a metal rod and four screws to repair. Everything healed quickly, but I realized there was no way I could comfortably support a solid body guitar with that shoulder. Mike was very understanding and agreed to change my specs to a semi hollow and make it as light as possible. I put it on the scale yesterday - 7 lbs, 1 oz.! The other special features include: Faber stoptail with steel and brass inserts Lollar P-90 and Staple pickups Custom neck profile based on something he had done 30 times previously at a former place of employment I've played the guitar briefly, but enough to know that it is a complete success. Light, balanced, and ergonomically perfect. It has a rich full clean tone that can go from smoky jazz to near Telecaster bite. I can't wait to turn it up and see how it sounds in a group setting.
