Nice mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. Back of the neck has satin finish, which is a big plus grip wise. Decent gold covered Grover tuners. Alnico Classic [[Humbuckers]] + NanoMag, which really give it good tone versatility, you can get almost [[Fender]]-like single-coil tones out of this one when humbuckers are used in combination with the NanoMag. NanoMag has extra control knobs on the back panel for treble, bass, and gain. Chambered body makes this guitar much lighter than your average [[Les Paul]]. There are two 1/4" outputs, one for all pickups and one for NanoMag separately.

One problem, to switch between NanoMag and Humbuckers you need to work the volume knobs. They should have included a one-button switch. Since they have separate output for NanoMag, they should've made the main one for Humbuckers only. That way A/B switch pedal could've been used for quick switch between the NanoMag and Humbuckers.

As you can see it's a Strat styled instrument, so we'll be using a Vintage style Tremolo Bridge and 3 pickups with 1 Volume and 2 Tone controls. The whole process is exactly the same, whether you are building a Tele, a V, a Les Paul etc! It doesn't matter what shape it is, it will still have the same basic geometry and parts!!!

OK, ever felt like you want to 'build' your own Guitar, to your own specs, but didn't think you had the skills?
Well, I'm here to tell you that anyone, with just a little bit of time and patience and a few basic tools, is capable of producing their own 'Custom Creation'!
In this article I'll take you through the assembly of the Guitar pictured on the right.

As you can see it's a Strat styled instrument, so we'll be using a Vintage style Tremolo Bridge and 3 pickups with 1 Volume and 2 Tone controls. The whole process is exactly the same, whether you are building a Tele, a V, a Les Paul etc! It doesn't matter what shape it is, it will still have the same basic geometry and parts!!!

So, what do you need to get started?
