FS: Wez Venables Zemaitis Inspired "wood top"

WezV

I built this to test out the functionality of a laser cutter I purchased earlier last year.  Not only was it used for making templates, it also  cut all the maple parts from the same piece of wood

Obviously heavily inspired by Zemaitis without being a direct clone

Spec:
Bosse Cedar chambered body with Inlaid and engraved maple top
2-Piece reclaimed mahogany neck with indian rosewood fretboard
24 fret 24.5" scale, slotted to the rule of 18.
Gotoh HAP Magnum lock tuners
Gotoh Bridge and tailpiece
Handwound P90's made by me(8k alnico 3 bridge with brass baseplate, 7.8k alnico 2 neck with nickel silver baseplate. 52/50mm spacing) including matched wooden pickup covers
Nitro lacquer finish, some checking is starting to appear.
8lb 3oz

The combination of shorter scale  with low headstock and neck angles makes it very easy on the fingers





I still need to source a case for it, but if one isn't required it is available now for collection

Very nice indeed! I bought Wez’s “Paulette” build and am absolutely loving it. I love the look of this latest one.

Outstanding

Not bumped this in a while as I've been busy building instead, but its still available.   It's metal top brother probably won't be far behind it either, but don't expect that to be as be as cheap as the wood top prototype

Seems a shame to split them up.

Sadly impending retirement and consequent budget constraints say no…

Well I could likely do a deal on the pair once the metal top is ready.  They do make a nice complimentary pair

Bump.  I will consider any fair offers on this.  I could use the space
