My new Headless Guitar build (pics)

[Helldunkel]

Hi guys,

I just completed this new headless guitar for a happy customer, thought I would share some pictures for those of you who love wood...

Specifications:

-Figured Salvaged Bastogne Walnut Top! (Bastogne is the rarest of all the Walnut species)
-Premium 'Rift-Sawn' one piece Sapelli (Sapele) Mahogany neck and body
-West African Ebony fingerboard, 24 frets, 25.5'' scale, 12'' radius
-West African Ebony control buttons
-Custom Hufschmid pickups with dark flame maple texture/finish handmade by Kent Armstrong according to the customers specifications
-Hipshot Headless guitar system
-Luminlay photo-luminescent side dots...

Close-up view of the pickups, this is a solid resin cast, there are no 'covers'...

I like how you still left a 'butt' at the end of the neck. Seems it would feel much more natural that way. You are incredibly talented!!!

That was the detail I did not want on my design, the add of a volute does indeed make it feel more natural...

PS: for those who are interested, I made this short video last day so that you can 'kinda' check out how it sounds:
