He should have it in hand some time next week. Sound report coming soon!
The guys at Wildwood Guitars were fantastic to work with.

Thanks Bruce!!

That's really cool.

Those neck specs should be very nice, and the color with the zebra pickups really work! Just awesome!

Different. That's very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Needs the pickguard, but otherwise I love it.

 

[Humbuck]

Pickguard and covers...awesomeness!!

Yep, it needs a pickguard and covers to complete it, otherwise it looks like an 80's type model. Really nice though.

It's a beautiful guitar. Very unique. It's perfect the way the way it is .

I like it without PG. If it had one, it would look like just another SG Standard.

 

[Wayne Alexander]

Really good looking.

Tasty axe.........cannot beat the zebras imho

 

[Ryan Givhan]

pretty bad ass. i agree that it needs a small guard, but thats it.! i want an sg with a lp "50's" neck

 

[Classic71]

Uber cool. Only thing that would concern me would be the balance - nothing worse than a neck heavy SG! But looks crazy nice.

 

[Tele52]

It doesn't need a pick guard or covers. Because it's a custom order and that's exactly how he wanted it.

That's nice. Still would look better with a pickguard.

I disagree.

Once my cousin gets the guitar in hand we'll see if it's neck heavy or not. We were told by Bruce at Wildwood that it balances farily well. However, if it's neck heavier than he likes it I have a fix. Since the guitar is only 6.17 lbs. adding some weight to the proper area will offset the neck. I'm going to make him a control cover out of stainless steel as a counter-balance. If I have to, I can make the cover 3/16 to a 1/4 inch thick and machine around the inside edge to the thickness of the original cover so it fits flush with the outside. Haven't done any calculations yet to see how much weight this will add. He gets the guitar this Tuesday.

Thanks for all the kind comments also. Even though this is how he ordered the guitar he at least has the option to add the pickguard and/or the pickup covers when ever he feels like it.
