Solid mahogany two piece center seamed body w/ one piece mahogany neck (50's fat neck but not overly fat like a baseball bat)
Kluson tuners, wrap around intonating bridge, Graph Tech nut, Kent Armstrong coil split P-90, CTS 500k pots w/ pio tone cap, and Genuine Gibson Les Paul wrap tail bridge and knobs.
We've painted this with thin, TV Yellow nitrocellulose lacquer, then gave it a relic job second to none!
The mini toggle switch acts as a bright switch and runs different winding to the controls...useful for cutting through the mix. The tone is nice and bright...step on an overdrive pedal and it REALLY sounds amazing!

Picked up a River Relics DC Jr
Therese are photos and specs I've pulled from the last two times it sold on Reverb. The neck profile is superb. I'm a fan of what a relic job does to the feel of the neck. It's on the lighter side of things and very resonant unplugged. The pickup is the weak point of this guitar. I'm going to ask @andrewsrea for help solving that problem and finding something cool to do with that switch. I've got a Kinman, but it's an older model that requires a deeper route (1 or 2mm) so it might not fit. If it doesn't fit, I know Rob can wind me something superb.

Thanks dude. I'm not always a fan of relics. This one I dig. Way better than the 2015 DC I had.
