That would be a great project but yes, the routing layout would have to consider maximizing the visual impact of that "hellcat" wood pattern.
I was thinking of making it the back of the guitar! Then another nice top piece and a simple piece of wood for the middle. Of course, that would get a bit up there in price.That would be a great project but yes, the routing layout would have to consider maximizing the visual impact of that "hellcat" wood pattern.
That is definitely an option, RVA. Also, maybe consider a couple of lipsticks, strategically placed? Would also give it a unique tone...I was thinking of making it the back of the guitar!

I am a HB or P90 guy from now on, except maybe for a strat, then H-S-S (or maybe H-P90-P90)!!That is definitely an option, RVA. Also, maybe consider a couple of lipsticks, strategically placed? Would also give it a unique tone...
Or even consider putting a "regular" top and giving it one heckuva paint job all the way to the middle of the sides, the border being where this beautiful slab for the back joins the overlying piece of wood.I was thinking of making it the back of the guitar!

Unpleasant experience with lipstick pups? I know that sound can be a bit of an acquired taste.I am a HB or P90 guy from now on, except maybe for a strat, then H-S-S (or maybe H-P90-P90)!!
That's also a way to go for sure, but that could mostly obliterate the beautiful grain. That is, of course, if you're using it as top.I am a HB or P90 guy from now on, except maybe for a strat, then H-S-S (or maybe H-P90-P90)!!
Not unpleasant, just preference. I like a darker, clean sound that does not need to be pushed to achieve volume. Lipsticks can be a bit weak. The other 2 fit that description precisely IMOUnpleasant experience with lipstick pups? I know that sound can be a bit of an acquired taste.
P90s is a great way to go, for sure... Maybe even mini-HBs like on a firebird.Not unpleasant, just preference. I like a darker, clean sound that does not need to be pushed to achieve volume. Lipsticks can be a bit weak. The other 2 fit that description precisely IMO
Yes, it is! That is the best depiction of a flame I've seen in quite a while. Almost like coming out of an afterburner!
