The Fretboard & guard light up this black beauty. It's time to bring home a new friend.    Top of the line wood selection, craftsmanship, hardware & electronics keep this instrument singing effortlessly while you stay in the music, worry free from distraction & struggle.    A normal weight for this model. This 7 lb 10.2 oz or 7.64 lb specimen is ready for the professional artist to bring in the studio.   The neck had ZERO deflection or (relief) before stringing, & .0023" deflection or (relief) after a set of String Joy .0095" to .046" went on. The relief was forced into the neck at .004" for 14 days, then set at .0035" & steady. It's difficult to find a more stable neck design anywhere. This guitar handles open tunings with ease, there's no rechecking each string several times for pitch. You'll keep up through the change up.    This guitar has a full frequency response perfect for rhythm & lead. Sit in the mix or jump out front with the flip of the switch.

Playability:
Tuning stability, intonation & a stiff neck is what the doctor ordered.

A polished bone nut, Graphtech Ratio Locking Tuners & a Gotoh Wrap Around bridge keep the strings in place.

A stiff neck takes the energy you give during the performance. 

Keep your mind in the music, not on the gear.

Comfortable Hands:
Your hands have enough to do...
Smooth, polished jumbo frets keep the vibrato & legato at your finger tips. While the smooth feel of the bridge gives you that firm rest for the palm, it also gives you that out of the way feel when you've got to... go for it.
Hemispherical fret ends slide right by the fast changes, and the stainless steel keeps it that way.

What's behind the scene isn't always for  the crowd...
This coin is a personal gift from me to you.
It represents my old fashion ways & sense of pride. In the days of this coin, Craftsmen were Craftsmen & this 1902 Penny was representative of their true efforts. I'm proudly passing my efforts to you. I know you will use them as a tool to inspire others in your unique way.
