Black Limba Double Cut Finished with Tru-Oil

So this guitar came off the shop floor and Markus took one look at it and had to have it. He is a meticulous builder with a wealth of guitar lore and knowledge, always an interesting guy to talk with.

So here is what he has done, Tru-Oil on the black limba. It really brings out the wood’s highlights, just beautiful… In person it is even more dramatic and the feel of a Tru-Oil neck in your hands is really, really fantastic. It has the Seymour Duncan Antiquity Pickup in it and the Gotoh Wraparound Bridge. It is waiting for the Bake-lite pickguard.

He also just happened to have a bumblebee cap, from a LP 58, just sitting around waiting for a home and here it is.

I will get some video and sound clips from him in the next couple of weeks.

Video One Of Our Customers Put Together On His First Guitar Build

Here is a YouTube video put together by one of our customers. Just showing the kit and the steps he took to put it together. The music playing over the video is from the guitar he built. This was his first guitar build. He has used the Bumblebee Capacitors in his tone train. I like the warmth that is in the tone when it’s clean, but it still has just a great growl with the gain turned up.
