Very cool!! I have several guitars with an L500XL in them, can't go wrong with that one!!

No you can't, I have several with them too, I think they are a very underrated pickup

Got around to the fret inlays, I got some aluminum tube and filled them in with epoxy I tinted. I think it came out good

Re: New guitar build started...

Well guys I yellowed it up a bit, not too much and then went to town on the relic part " sorry some may not like a relic guitar" but all the guitars I've built have been youth typical nice ones.... so here it is

Still would!


What's the space in the control cavity?

I routed a big cavity to relieve weight but I didn't want the whole cavity at the thickness you need for the controls

Re: New guitar build started...

IMHO Relic + maple would be fantastic. Ebony is so classy it demands a little more respect. But Sir, truth is you are a very serious luthier. I wish I could do this some day. Congrats all the way.
