This is the complete build video on the making of this custom guitar. This is a design that I have named the Chimera, and it is my own design with some influences from both the Fender Stratocaster and the Strandberg Boden.

The top is Quilted Maple, the neck is Jatoba and Wenge, the wings of the body are Black Walnut, and the fretboard is Snakewood.

The pickups are Lace Deathbucker in the bridge position and Lace Alumitone in the neck position.

The bridge is a Schaller Hannes Piezo bridge with an onboard preamp, the tuners are locking Grovers.

To see this build with narration and without time-lapse, there is an 11 video series on the making of this guitar that can be found here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIeY3my9UbhSHao6JHQYDDhiv1b-3nzmA
