Several people have asked so I thought I would start a thread documenting the building of my Tiger (ETA 1/10). Not much so far but here we go...

It will be getting the full Tiger treatment with a couple of changes
1. 3- PF104's like rosebud
2. Headstock inlay will be red (stone), white (MOP) & blue (stone) lightning bolt inside a brass ring and the luthiers logo in MOP
3. Becote top and back instead of cocobola

Can I come down to " Nashvegas " and try it out when its done ?

of course you are welcome!

Wow!!! Is that Purpleheart on top and bottom? Very cool. What are the woods you are using? Is this going to be a neck through or set neck?

[NashvilleMike]

It is purpleheart and maple and it will get one more layer of purple then top and bottom becote (another rosewood similar to cocobola). The neck will not be a true through but it is considered through in the way it will be set deep into the body.

[strumminsix]

Wow! Very nice looking! What is the body's weight and depth?

[NashvilleMike]

Right now it is like a cinder block. The cavities aren't finished. the edges are still square and the body isn't yet contoured. When finished it will be every bit of 12#.
