Through-neck Solid-body Electric
"The Bee" Cutting Board
Completed Aug 22, 2005
Here is a guitar that is a true
one-of-kind. The 24 fret Macassar Ebony fret board with an inlayed shell
Bee and mother-of-pearl position marks are only the starting point for this
instrument. Through-neck guitars are known for the best transmission of sound
down the neck and into the body. They also are some of the best for
playability down at the high frets. This guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan
soap-bar pickups which are known for exceptional quality in sound. Three
position toggle switch and just dual volume controls keeps it simple. Top
of the line Schaller machine heads and bridge complete the
package.
