Tsunami Firejag Guitar, 140 year old oak with Jatoba inlaid pickguard

Real Nice! Love the natural wood looks.

Thanks, I try to do them all natural. Only ever painted one on demand. Hated painting over that wood!!

That pick guard blended in so well, I was trying to figure out how you got all the electronics in there without a back rout. LOL Good stuff. I build guitars, but not from Scratch. I’d love to be able to build my own necks and such.

Really Beautiful!

That is something I won’t be trying in the near future… :)

Awesome work. Reminds me of the old s-73 guild guitar. build’em with solid neck through body and will sell like…

No back rout because I put all the electronics and pickups right in the pickguard, which is a mere 3MM thick. That whole assembly is inlaid by hand into the face of the guitar, over a large, tonal chamber about 26MM deep. The harder woods of the pickguard set up a little resonance, like an acoustic, and I get longer sustain. Thanks so much for the comments on my first project post!!
