Photos From My Signature Guitar Prototype, Check em out! Options

[Adrian Figallo]

Hey guys!, today i'm very excited because i just met the prototype for my signature guitar, so all my thoughts, hope and dreams (and specs ) are finally taking shape, and a lovely wooden shape

So i will post some here and comment what's going on, the front of the guitar may look like a classic LP shaped guitar, but it's not as simple as it looks.

By the way, the guy building this guitar might be a kind of genius , he made the guitar entirely by hand, but i need to play the guitar first, so far, VERY excited.

This is the front of the guitar, the body has peruvian alder top (here is called pumaquiro), and the body itself it's a solid and heavy mahogany thing .

I didn't like a lot the look of the neck going into the body on the front of the guitar, so this guy is making a very fine top of alder to cover it, it will look similar to the eric clapton les paul, which i totally love.





I also wanted a carved body top, similar to a PRS but not so fine, i think he made a great job.




On this pic you can see the back of the guitar, that's a 2 piece mahogany body with a neck thru that goes until the bridge of the guitar, we are trying this instead of making it until the end of the guitar, may make good vibrations



This is a close up for the neck, that's 3 pieces of mahogany and 2 pieces of pao ferro, a VERY strong wood, pao ferro means literally wood made of steel.



And this is the joint between the neck and the guitar, i wanted more access for higher frets, and this is very comfortable, or it looks like/feels like at least.



The headstock is a very small modification of the classic LP shape, it's not finish yet, but my signature is going to be there eventually.



Here is a cool close up of the body:




It needs a LOT of more work, but it's mainly cosmetic now, the guitar even now feels incredible.

The signature version will be loaded with:

-Bareknuckle "The Mule" on the bridge or Seymour Duncan "Pearly Gates" depending on the specific model
-Seymour Duncan "Alnico Pro II" on the neck
-Sperzel locking tuners
-Wilkinson hardware
-3 way toggle switch
-2 (or 3 way) coil split switch
-2 volume
-1 tone

LOVING IT so far, and the model name is the "cabaret" i hope you all like the prototype
