Built for the class Scenic Construction at USC, this guitar is a Telecaster-style electric guitar. It is made from a 3-piece African Mahogany tone wood blank, carved on the CNC-router before being hand shaped with a hand router. It was sanded to 400 grit and finished with natural Danish oil to keep the natural color and grain pattern of the wood visible. The neck was created by Mighty Mite, however all final assembly, wiring, and finishing was done by Sydney Fabis.
