Balaguer Semi-Custom: Got some Progress Pics!

[JerEvil]

Dat top!!!

Man I am super stoked. I've been busting Joe's (Balaguer) chops about seeing the guitar. He surprised me with pics this morning. The neck single coil still needs to be routed but man I am really loving the top on this!

Cool shape Jer!

Cool shape Jer!

Thanks! It's Joe's "Archetype" model. I opted for non-beveled. It'll be hard tail, 1 hum/1 single but the single is actually a stacked hum bucker. Trans green dark burst with black hardware.

That looks awesome! You've said you like their pickups too and the ones you played thru the Juno sounded great. What are you putting in this one?

Thanks! I am putting the same bridge pickup in this guy that's in the vid for the KSR. I am putting his new stacked single coil in the neck position. 1 hum/1single is my favorite configuration. His pickups split really well too which is nice.

Yeah ebony board. 5-piece roasted maple neck with walnut stringers.
