The guitar body is made from two pieces of Ash and two pieces of Walnut. The Ash is left over from the circular cut of the wine tasting table. I had a limited amount of Ash to work with which gave me a very asymmetrical glue-up, but that should be expected with a scrap wood project. The Walnut was left over from a cabinet project.

This is going to be a semi-hollow guitar, which is why there are two hollow cavities hidden under the walnut top. I hate to cover up the beautiful figure of the Ash, but luckily the figure on the backside of the guitar is just as beautiful and will still be visible.

I left the Walnut thick on the top because I will be carving the top similar to that of a Les Paul. I am still debating if I should wrap the guitar top with binding. If I were to bind it, I think doing it with brass would look best next to the Walnut. I am also debating adding an f-hole on the forearm rest area or leaving it in the chambered state it is currently in. Other plans include adding humbuckers, a bridge, and a stopbar. I am still collecting scrap wood to build the neck. I will be using Gibson’s 24-3/4 scale length on this guitar. I am essentially trying to build a Les Paul in a Telecaster body.
