Zemaitis / Bonabird / thing. Homebuild going cheap!
What's Hot
Hi all
I was hoping to release one of my creations into the wild. I'm no Paul Reed Smith, but it plays well and there'll be no nasty surprises for the next owner.
But first, a picture:

And a link to the build thread:
https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/179686/zemaitis-bonabyrd-type-thing/p1
Core specs are:
1 piece Cherry body (white binding)
Cherry neck ('58 LP profile, so on the fatter side)
Ebony fretboard; 25'' (PRS) scale, 24 fret, 12'' radius, frets are on the larger side
Nitro 'Cherry Cola' finish on the top, I used OSMO on the rest of it
Vintage Jackson J-90C HB (I'll keep this and knock £50 off the price if its not for you) - very highly regarded:

There's just 2 bits which need doing:
Wiring up (it's already drilled for long-shaft pots, tone and volume and an LP output jack)
You'll need to cut a control cavity cover out - there's no recess; my plan was to glue dowels in each corner of the cavity 2mm short of the overall depth.
I am really unsure how to price this! It's not cosmetically perfect but is a perfectly playable and ''distinctive'' guitar.
£275 with the J-90C, £225 without?
