Not a solid body, not even semi solid but an arch top acoustic with Fender thinline humbuckers I'm a very happy camper, cos it's identical pretty much to one I already had and wanted another and now I've got two Hurrah!
That's it really just wanted to tell somebody.
Black leather sofa........ Hmmmm, wipe clean

Was it the pleccy?
yup.......
I know nothing about guitars except I like what comes out of them I, yours does look sweet as a nut though.
Is it meant to sound nice un-amped?
Not really, that wasn't the plan anyway, but it sounds pretty good unamped, but with the low output humbuckers amped up, sounds very much my ricky 330 fireglow, which is what I'd hoped for.
Very nice indeed. I can see the top is tiger maple, what are the neck and body made of? Is the neck set in? it doesn't look bolted on. Are those roller saddles on that bridge? I want one I suspect ๐
That's gorgeous, love the grain in the top. Is that a PRS by any chance? It's headstock is the same style, but it doesn't have the bird fret markers.
Ta very much ๐ it's not a PRS, although the headstock and body shape were based on one, It's a one of two Jahwomble custom jobs, which unfortunately he never finished the wiring and the lacquer on the second one, but it eventually got finished by somebody else. The other one being pretty much identical except a natural waxed ash finish and regular pafs.
The neck and the body are mahogany and the neck is set, the fingerboard is Brazilian parana wood. and yup, thats a roller bridge. though I like roller bridges more because of the range of adjustment for intonation and the fact that the bridge bolts to the posts nice and solidly giving a slightly darker tone.
Anyway, I'm off to play with it some more ta very much.:)
Beautiful guitar, I'm not in the slightest bit envious. No, not one bit, no siree, not me...

Sorry, and I honestly don't want to sound dismissive or negative as I'm just genuinely curious, but you say you already have a guitar (or two) that either look the same or sounds the same - so why another?
Lush. ๐
*envy*
Cos it's built of a different wood, which has a different tone to it, different pickups in it and sounds completely different to the other one, but feels the same to play. Also, I play for a living, so have pretty near duplicates of every guitar I own, so if one goes down i can just pick up another, plug it in and play with the bare minimum messing about with settings and mixing desks and pedals.
It's a bit like having more than one bike really.Sometimes it's just because I want one. ๐
Thanks for explaining, especially about it being your living and just beiong able to swap with minimal fuss.
Sometimes it's just because I want one.
Oh, that certainly doesn't need any explanation!
Very nice!
that's a nice axe man! ๐

I suspect the answer is this:
It's a one of two Jahwomble custom jobs
I don't play guitar (or any other instrument), but that does look very nice indeed. Jahwomble looked to be a talented guy.
"Jahwomble looked to be a talented guy. "
No doubt at all, the build quality and finish and the attention to detail make high end Fenders and Gibsons look a bit shabby and badly thought out. I've seen very few bespoke guitars at any price that even come close as well. A very sad loss.
I'm off to play it some more now.:)

Never met him, but his guitars look nice ๐ฅ
Nice - like it.
Got pretty close to pushing the button on a PRS SE semi-hollow a few times myself...
