This baby is my personal guitar. The body is spec’d after an early 1950’s vintage Telecaster with the added nuances of a custom hollow-body. The body is a single slab of Black English Walnut stump topped with a select piece of European violin grade highly figured Flamed Maple. The guitar stouts a matching Flame Maple neck and is finished with a vintage amber nitro cellulose lacquer finish. This baby is wired with a pair of Lindy Fralin Blues Special custom wound pickups set into a custom made snakeskin pickguard. It plays like a dream, and only weighs a couple pounds. Get out your platform shoes and bell bottoms. This guitar is great for playing funk.
A very beautiful instrument! It's odd that for the many years I've known you, I have never seen this...or heard you play. I am so very much looking forward to hearing you and the Sara Brown Band when we come up for the Festival in August. Will you be adding pics of the mandaline that you made to your blog? I loved that one. I still have the pics and look at them from time to time. I even show friends your awesome works. A big "Thumb's Up" to you. Catch you on the flip side Bro'.
