    Cedric, thanks for the love. The top of the guitar is Shedua and the pickups are Harmonic Design Z-90s, highly-recommended. To be clear, I do not hand cut my bodies or necks - I contract that stuff out, as my day (and often night) job keeps me busy, with exact specs for whoever will be playing the instrument. I did choose that particular piece of Shedua. As Cedric said, this is a hobby for me, and of the 50 or 60 guitars I've done, I've never made a penny of profit. I know how hard it is for musicians to make a living, and since this hobby has become habit-forming, I have found it a great way to contribute to folks' careers.

      @@aobyungcp4330Didn't like the first stain I sprayed. Will spray walnut tomorrow and then all of the clearcoats. After a month or so, I will install hardware and wire the pickguard and jack. Then all that is left is gluing the neck joint, cutting and filing a nut and the setup. So, 6 to 8 weeks. Plug that piggy bank.

    I'll be damned. One of my local shops sells Austin, great priced Fender-styled guitars. I just figured for the price they must be like the Squire or what not, but damn Cedric just shows it's more the player/musician than it is the hardware. And the honk/quack of the 6th string with his opening on that custom guitar was freaking amazing!!! Thanks for the introduction to Cedric, instant fan here!

    He was rocking a mahogany Martin when I saw him last May at a show at Tipitina's last May with Billy Strings. They played till about 2am........IT WAS WILD. You may be able to see the video on Tip's RUclips channel. He stepped it up to another level when he sat behind the drum kit and REALLY threw down!

      The body is from Warmoth. I did pick the piece of Shedua for the top. I don't use Warmoth necks. USACG necks were far better, until Tommy sold the business. This neck is from Sound Guitar Works (Tommy's former crew). Cedric payed zero dollars for this guitar. It was my gift to him. He's a wonderful guy and he deserves it.
