Default Zion Sapele Mahogony Guitar Body
I just finished making this Zion shaped guitar body out of a sapele mahogony wood body blank. I've got an ebony fretboard factory Zion neck I'm going to install on this bad boy. I had a little mishap with the router bit on the top of the single neck pup route and the neck pocket. Had to fill the area with some wood filler. Some more final sanding, prime and paint you wouldn't even notice. So what do you think ?

Default Project Update
Can't believe I still have not finished this guitar project yet. Finally have all the parts to finish. Just waiting for the 100+ degree weather to go away so I can start painting the guitar body. Going with gold Schaller hardware, DiMarzio Evolution humbucker in the Bridge and a DiMarzio Chopper single in the neck. Painting with HOK paint kandy Root Beer.
