GJ8: Body features

I'm still with the GJ8, here. The body is not a departure from the traditional designs we see in the market. The pickups you see there:
  • Neck: Bare Knuckles- Cold Sweat
  • Bridge: Bare Knuckles- Miracle Man
There are 6 bolts here & the screws are slightly smaller than the traditional, say, Fender/ Ibanez units. That's right, that line there is the wood's 2-piece division line not concealed by any finish, ditto the working stain.

This is the flip-side view of the treble end cutaway. The beveling there aims to promote upper fret access, Herman Li & Rusty Cooley (among others) would love this feature.

This is how much top material the instrument is equipped with. It's not about having an attractive cosmetic top, the wood is there to help achieve the end in mind- good tones for the taking.
