@The Hybrid Body Chimera - Custom Guitar Build - Part 7: Frets, Back Plate, Assembly

This is the final episode in a 7 part series on the making of this custom guitar. This is a design that I have named the Chimera, and it is entirely my own design. I decided to try some new things with this build such as creating a hybrid 2-piece body with two different types of wood and a curving joint, different inlay materials than I have used before, and a multi color stain. This episode covers the fretwork, work on the back plate, and the final assembly. The top is both Walnut and Zebrawood, the neck is 3 piece Pau Ferro, the rest of the body is Sapele, and the fretboard is Sabah Ebony. The pickups are the Devin Townsend signature set of Fishman Fluence pickups. Hardware: Shcaller Hardtail bridge, Hipshot locking tuners, nickel silver frets. Episodes of this build series will go up once per week, as well as a full length build video going up after the series is complete.
