Newly finished

[Lightbluemk2]

Hey guys thought I'd share this build I did for someone, just finished it today.

The guys a big Muse fan, and so this is based off one of Matt Bellamy's guitars, a mason delorian, didn't want to copy it exactly, but its pretty close to the general idea, with a few changes here and there.

2 Piece alder body
4mm aluminium top roughed up
Silver cracked paint finish on the back.
Maple neck, rosewood f/b, aluminium headstock and heel plates
Aluminium backplates
1x P90, 1x Hum, 3 way selector, 3 way toggle killswitch, 1V, 1T.
Routed for fuzz factory and phase 90 boards to go in the back, yet to source those and put them in.

[dutchgoff]

Look real good. +1 on how it sounds.

[Zenzeypher]

Thats amazing, more so because I was wanting to build something very, very similar.

Like a Firebird Telecaster or Telebird or firecaster..


..it very much has that vibe, and I love it.

The sounds pretty damn good. The P90 is quite warm and mellow compared to the bucker, so it can get a nice range of tones. It seems to be quite clear and crisp, and has quite a different acoustic sound, which I can only really guess attributes to the Aly top.

If you feed slowly and run at a high rpm, with good quality TCT bits, you can rout it just like normal wood which I found really interesting, so Im thinking about trying a few more things with aly now, maybe even a whole neck
