Very Thin Electric Guitar - Maple and Pecan

Just finished another electric guitar.   The body is very thin - approx 1 inch   The top is a highly flamed hard maple with some spalting (dark areas).  The back is soft maple.  The neck is flamed hard maple with 3 stringers down center maple-pecan-maple.   The neck joint goes all the way to the bridge pickup cavity.  The body is chambered which makes the whole instrument very light weight.   The fingerboard and the headpiece are pecan.  The 12th fret has a leaf motif inlay.  There are 22 frets with the neck to body joint at the 21st fret.  It has a double action truss rod and gold hardware.  Hunbucker pickup are 9K and 16K overwound.
