Two piece unfinished ash Esquire body, all parts unfinished rosewood fat neck, Wilkinson bridge with brass compensated saddles, control plate, Emerson prewired controls and plate, Gotoh inline staggered machine heads, bone nut, and five hole black pickguard and a Cavalier NoCaster Holy Grail to round it all out with everything metal in nickel finish. This will be my second build and I’ve talked about in other threads. I’m excited. Should have it all ready for finish by the end of the month. I’m traveling for work for the next two weeks then I am going to dry assemble the guitar and get it all perfect, then disassemble and finish which is gonna take some time but that’s fine.
I’m going to finish the body in antique white nitro and the neck in an amber tinted nitro.
I have. Cavalier Fat Lion in my T-Tyoe build and I like it though it lacks some of the nuance I was hoping for but it’s a great pickup and the company makes nice stuff so I’m going with them again. I think it’s going to be a great guitar.
One thing to add. I plan to use Zpoxy to fill the grain but I want a tiny bit of the grain texture to come though. I like that slight look if the wood under the finish. Not seeing the wood but that old sink in nitro look but just ever so slight. Any ideas?
