Padron box, mahogany neck (with steel reinforcement), ebony fretboard, maple veneer on head and pickup surround, humbucker pickup and two piezos wired in parallel under the brass bridge plate. The adjustable bridge is ebony and brass with phosphor bronze saddle pieces. Side fret markers and rivets (where the strings go into the box) are copper. It's still in need of a finished nut and a heel piece to cover the steel reinforcement.

John the finish on the neck is awesome, love the fretboard ebony, and it plays so well too.

I have the same box squirreled away for my own build, but I guarantee it won't look as nice as that one.
