DBraz Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 My second Super-C is underway so I’ll start to post a few pictures during the build. A few differences this time. My original plan was to make this the yin of the original’s yang. It isn’t quite that but has a few notable deliberate spec changes. This one will have a Korina body, a quilt top and a 24.75” scale length. I play more than a few scale length guitars and never struggle changing between them, but they do feel and sound different. I have never owned a Korina body guitar, but like what I read and the experience I had from a brief play previously. I’ve kept the wenge neck from the original too as it is quite a warm wood, is über stiff and feels amazing. This one’ll have a reverse headstock too. The fretboard will be flamed Ebony - the weirder the better. Originally I was going for a hard tail but now I’m not. One of the great things about waiting for the build to get underway is that it gives you time to think about a few of the details. I have been recording a fair bit recently and gravitate towards a trem. Not having one and leaving this guitar out of rotation for the majority of stuff doesn’t seem right. I settled on a colour scheme from day 1 so hopefully it can be achieved. I’ll be watching my Sunday morning emails like a hawk from now on! Here’s a few pictures.

DBraz Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Incidentally #87 is a great number for me even though I didn’t chose it. It’s the year I finally bought my first electric guitar. Many months toiling with paper rounds to buy the cheapest Squier Strat I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 I wanted the quilt top to be tighter and squishy in the middle and open out towards the body edge. It’s perfect. I also had a great conversation with Mike on where we’re heading with inlays. We’re on the same page. Until then here’s an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll always have at least one buyer in the re-sale market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I'm thinking about asking Mike to make me two guitars. First is a "Supercali", the second is a "fragalisticexpialidocious". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Every update is a winner. The inlays are black pearl with an abalone pic. They look brighter under the light but will be more subtle in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
