NGD: LP-ish P90 build

What's Hot
CorvusCorvus Frets: 2925
in Guitar tFB Trader
Got my LP-ish hybrid just about done - flat-top and slight shape changes, Junior type thickness, upper fret access is pretty decent. Maple/walnut body, mahogany/rosewood neck.
The headstock overlay is streaky ebony which I failed to photo well. Pickups are Mojo P90s and super nice they are too.

Weight is 7lbs. All nitro finish. The maple top had knots & holes, not your "AAAAAA++ super zen master" grade. It goes with the randomness of walnut nicely I think - the back's pretty tidy but you can see knots and swirls in the sides. The paint was very flat but is sinking a bit, just enough to be not too perfect I hope. Probably should call the colour "caramel whiskey sunset dream", or something.

Anyway, pic dump -

    Beautiful. Everything about it is right.

    Quite light for a walnut build as well, I thought walnut bodies were on the heavier side of things.

    How does it sound? Different to a LP with a mahogany body?

    Thanks a lot chaps, cheers.
    @merlin it'll be for sale in a bit. @earwighoney it's weight-relieved, it would've been too much otherwise. Sound-wise it's early days but I'm surprised how much clarity there is. Might just be memory playing tricks but I think it sounds different/clearer than the other Mojo P90 one I made, but that was a different build & hardware altogether.
