Richey Kay #41 - scratch-built 6 string

Posted by Richey Kay on February 6, 2016 at 10:15am
My first ever 6 string. Oak neck, walnut fretboard and pickup bobbins. 16" fretboard radius, jumbo frets, MOP fret markers. 2 bottle wine box.The neck has a mild steel bar running through it for strength.2 single coils, master volume and a 3 way switch. The coils are RWRP, so the mid position is humbucking.Top loading hardtail bridge, with a solid oak column beneath the bridge, which gives a solidbody-like sustain and tone. Tru Oil finish.
