Time for an update on design and specs.
I renamed it to Paradox J5 due to dropping the multi-scale part of the design / build.
Specs are:
- Swamp ash body with flamed maple top, separated by a thin wenge accent layer
- Macassar ebony fingerboard
- Hard rock maple neck, probably with U-channel truss rod and two graphite rods
- Angled back headstock, same veneers as body
- White pearl pickguard
- All chrome hardware and knobs
- Aluminum Hipshot A-style bridge
- Extra light Gotoh GB350 tuners
- Delano JMVC FE pickups, wired passive
That’s about it for now, I’ve ordered most parts about a week ago and the wood is ordered as well. I cannot wait to start and I am very excited about this build!
