Semi-hollowbody electric I completed awhile back! My take on the Fender Starcaster- no body carve, cream binding & humbucker pickups Instead of WRHBs with a Bigsby Trem. 5-piece body- cherry, sapele & maple. The top is ambrosia maple 🍁 For the neck, roasted, figured & vertical grain maple from Canada 🇨🇦 For the fretboard, roasted birdseye maple from Canada.
