Model 07LTD
One of a kind
Solid Padauk
Chambered body
Tung Oil Finish
The unique nature of this padauk
billet inspired me to create this unique guitar. Yes, neck and
body are from the same billet.
Because of the unique nature of the
woods and custom appointments, this will be a one of a kind
guitar. I will certainly make more of this style, but with
different woods etc.
Special headstock and ebony trim.
The fingerboard is totally black ebony with no surface markers.
This guitar had to show off the beauty
of the woods.
The body is chambered which reduces
weight and produces interesting overtones. The top was sliced
off the main block and a thin wenge layer added. The top was
then carefully re-attached with the grain matched.
This limited edition Model 07 is
very light and an absolute delight to play! It features a very
special adjustable brass nut so you can dial in the exact action
desired.
An awesome feature are the Gotoh 510
Delta series locking tuners with a 21:1 ratio. Tuning is
incredibly smooth.
I'll be happy to change pickups and control values. Currently it
has 250k pots in it.
