lightweight chambered Ash body, with trimming for balance
EVO frets ( cool, never tried them but im up for it!.. do you have a Jescar number on the frets ?)
Harmonic hole (if it is a big issue, I can live without it, but I would really like one)
overall a very well balanced instrument
24 frets neck
I use 11-49 strings with very low action
The Guitar...The Body Specs..
I would like a lightweight resonant Hollow swamp ASH Body with routing for two Humbuckers and a harmonic hole.
I would like the routing to be done so that the pickups are to be mounted directly in the guitar,
and that the neck routing is placed so that the overtone of the strings are directly over the screws of the neck pickup. I use the neck pickup 90% of the time..
I would like 1 volume and 1 tone control and a 3 way selector on the guitar front with
access from the back of the guitar.
The Neck Specs ..
Maple neck with a rosewood fretboard ..
( I am also perfectly ok with ebony or maple fret board, If you think that is a better combination with the ash body and the guitar balance and overall sound ?)
Neck radius : 12 (I like flat radius) otherwise normal "fender" C shape (not thin not fat)
Neck width and string spacing: I play a lot of fingerstyle so I like a wide fingerboard for chords (43 mm 1 fret would be great)
and a string spacing that enables me to play fingerstyle with my right hand fingers..
Trussrod: yes
..
1) It has to be In perfect balance!! I sit down about 6-8 hours every day with a guitar and I don't want just another guitar that I need "to hold up" to play. so no "neckdive" or heavy body.. I want to put the guitar in my lab and I just stays there, with the 45 degree playing angle that is so cool for the Klein model Guitar..and that I know from playing Acoustic classical guitar..
2) I t has to light weight!!
I have about 30 guitars, acoustic andelectric. All great instruments, some are vintage some new...but I only play 3 to 5 of them and the reason for that, is that most of them are heavy in weight.. My ideal guitar weight is about 2.0 to 2.5 kilo total. I have found out over the years that electric guitars that are light in weight appeals most to me, I like the acoustic quality in an electric hollow body guitar and those guitars seem to be the ones that I use the most.
