Ok, guys. I finally had time to take pictures of my semi-hollow prototype, so as I promised in another thread a couple of weeks ago, I'm posting some pictures and some details here.
The body shape and size is taken from the Epiphone Kat series, so you could say is a long lost cousin to the RumbleKat, I guess. I'm calling it the PhattKat.
All local Brazilians woods, and pretty much all salvage woods as I approached this as a prototype so I try to use left overs from other projects.
Pickups are single-coils from a local manufacturer, and RW/RP between each other so they "buck the hum" when on the same level.
I started this about three years ago, building between projects whenever I had the time and it's been one year since I had it painted and finished but I couldn't find the time to assemble it. Found the time about a month ago since things was slow at the shop so I could finally put it all together.
It went through a lot of changes during the building time as I was trying different approaches to the design (which I think is the idea of building a prototype) and now that it's done and I play tested a good deal of it, I think it's a solid design.
Hope you guys enjoy it. Comments, questions, critics are welcome, after all, that's what I signed up for!
Anyway, here's the first shot:
