Unmatched Voice:
This sparkling blue Davy Jones booty is proudly powered by Fralin Pure P.A.F. Humbuckers polished nickel covered pickups. Perfectly matched providing that powerful, clear, bold, yet touch sensitive true tone of the guitar. The articulate nature of these pickups let you hear the individual notes & nuances of a crowded space. Packed in a fully copper shielded body are smooth tapered, sealed Dunlop Pots with a three way Switchcraft switch, braided wire & a double treble bleed on both volumes. This keeps the noise of the venue out of your speakers & the music in their face. With an Emerson paper oil tone cap, the singer can stand out front where they should be, when they get a chance...
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...
O.K., what's the coin?... it's 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 1903 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.
