I’m restoring my old first build and despite not wanting to I will have to sell it...
As I ordered from China a copy of the body that I carved to make another prs style copy project. yeah they can duplicate any body or neck for cheap However I won’t recommend to ask Chinese to replicate a neck.
Here are the pictures when I was making it.
I began with a 22 frets neck but I messed with the scale length and had to remove one case and and a fret which is still in the picture. I removed the fret and made a black line inlay with the fret slot. First builds are always a mess x). I made a fake Kramer logo with a transparent material which I think is not that bad.
It has a master grade flame maple top and a 5a flamed maple back. The body is made of roasted basswood. As I like Van Halen and basswood maple was one of his best combinations I used this.
Just by the looks so you think you would like a guitar like this ?
It plays well and stays in tune however intonation isn’t perfect. It sounds huge. It has a custom wound 9k plain enamel paf alnico 2 at the bridge and a 7.5k at the neck.
