25.5" scale neck, poplar body, coil tapping pickups, knockoff floyd from guitar fetish. The body was dyed using angelus leather dies (recommended by BigDGuitars on yt) it was a good first project to learn on and a lot of fun to make. Picture was taken before I installed the control knobs but it really pops in the sun.
Awesome build, looks great. You don't really see a lot of green guitars for some odd reason
Thanks! That was a big part of why I chose the color (other than really liking green) Ibanez has a really neat pale metallic green on some of their semi-hollow bodies that I love.
Great looking build! I have bad shoulders, so I’m always a little put off by the weight of most explorers. How much does this thing weigh?
I don't have a number but it feels pretty close to my LTD eclipse. It does have a bit of neck dive partially because of where I put the strap button, partially from the scale length, and partially because explorer. I prefer to play it sitting vs standing as a result.
Man that's a great finish. What kind of pickups do you have in it?
Where are the knobs in the first photo?
In their packages along with the pots. I had not finished the assembly yet but wanted to see how it looked.
Looks absolutely sick. I really love the colour. Bet that thing shreds
It probably does shred, alas I exclusively play wonderwall on it.
