The stripes are red oak (stained grey) and yellow poplar (stained blue) for a top over what was the spruce cabinet of a 60s transistor organ. Neck, hardware and electronics are all Chinese. The chickenhead knobs cost more than the pickups, but I love how those filtertron clones sound. I did put orange drop caps on the pots though. Lots of variation on the tone knobs.
Holy shit dude that's legit as fuck!
Thanks. That's what swallowed my time one summer about 9 years ago.
