Here's what I've got so far:

Body: Double Cutaway

Top: Flamed Maple
Back: Honduran Mahogany
Neck: Honduran Mahogany
Fingerboard: Brazilian Rosewood
Carve: Wide-Fat
Inlay: S-logo, side-dots, dots on fingerboard
Scale: 25.5
No. Of Frets: 24
Radius:12 inches
Nut: Bone
Bridge: PRS Adjustable Stoptail
Tuners: Schaller Locking Mini-Tuners
Strap Locks- Schaller
Pickups: Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates
Controls: Volume: 2
Tone: 2
3-Way toggle
Color: Tobacco Burst
Other: Wood Back Plates

I'm thinking about a ebony fingerboard, and a question more for Jason himself possibly a zebrawood top, I was wondering if you could tell about the sound qualities of this wood, and how much extra it could cost. Maybe a shorter scale length. Tell me what you think!

Hey! Just wanted to welcome you here. I guess your question really is more for Jason. Your specs look real cool, but I would turn to Jason for his personal advice. I have no idea if Jason has an opinion if a 25.5 scale 24 fret will tonally be different than a shorter scale as an example. One thing I have learned during my build process with Jason is trust his judgement. I'm sure you already know, but if you don't, Jason is not just a builder, but a hell of a player. Trust him!

I'm sure Jason will have some great ideas for you. I have not seen a zebrawood top but I do have a chambered zebrawood body guitar with a maple top that is incredible. I was very reluctant about the combination but it sounds wonderful. Enjoy the ride!
