Very first guitar I built (and completed) from scratch. The body is maple. This guitar was originally painted black. I then decided to paint it red, and when I did 1 coat, it blended into this burgandy'ish color which I liked. It was an unintentional color but I kept it. I purchased and installed what I thought were EMG 81/85s in this. However, I later learned these are Chinese knockoffs. Lesson learned and I now know how to identify real from fake ones.
