read the previous page bro... its an 8 string fanned fret guitar if i m not mistaken
it's a bass. who needs a 7 piece neck and uses an OBP-3 preamp for a guitar.

It's a guitar actually
I just realised I didn't specifically state if this was a guitar or a bass :mrgreen: The specs can be a bit misleading

Picked up the guitar in KL yesterday Gonna wire the electronics myself, here how it looks so far...
Macassar ebony control cavity cover
Still "botak"
8 Individual Bridges
"Sarawak" influenced inlay
"Jeffrey Yong" Inlay
Bookmatched Monkeypod Headstock Cap w/ "2 tone" macassar ebony truss rod cavity cover. Laminated bone/ebony nut and zero fret
Macassar Ebony laminate on back of headstock
7 piece laminated neck
In the hands of it's builder
The neck is HUGE but surprisingly playable, and the fanned frets are very easy to get used to :mrgreen:

Have you used fan fretted instruments before? I mean wont it be hard to get used to? cos the higher strings are on a shorter scale than the lower ones. so the way your fingers would have to stretch when playing "certain" songs will get hindered?
and i think you'll have to get used to like a totally new instrument man, the fret board will feel pretty foreign all over again, cos the place where say 23 fret on the B string is no longer where it used to be and you tried to fret the 22 or 21 fret out of habitual/instinct.
just a thought lah, so is the custom ready?
Tell us about your baby once you get it alright?
